Hi,

As per my understanding, you are in your aspx.cs page and doing a F5.
try doing the following.
1.In the solution explorer,navigate to the page that you want to show as home page.
2.Right click on that aspx and select set as start page.
3.Build and run

Hope this helps.

He is probably talking about ASP project and not asp.net

It is tagged under asp.net.so had to guess. :)

2 things:
i) You haven't disabled your directory listing which is not recommended. It's pretty easy to do in IIS, still this link shows all options for doing that: Enable or Disable Directory Browsing in IIS 7[^].

ii) You haven't set your default page and thus you are seeing a directory listing page. This link shows how to do that: Setting Up Default Documents (IIS 6.0)[^]
Note: This is for IIS 6.0 version. Google for the version you need.

Hope this helps!

Right Click on any page and set that page as start up page.
