title: Default.aspx vs. Index.aspx
body: <p>I've been using <code>Index.aspx</code> as the 'home' file of my web applications directories for the past 5 years, but have only just recently started using Visual Studio for debugging sites.</p>
  
  <p>The built in web server for Visual Studio has <code>Default.aspx</code> as the 'home' file.</p>
  
  <p>When I click on a link such as <code>/News?id=5</code>, its not picking up on the <code>Index.aspx</code> file, and instead showing a directory listing.</p>
  
  <p>This causes an issue because I'm sometimes passing querystring, which is then lost when going to the directory listing.</p>
  
  <p>Therefore, should I cave in and do what Microsoft tells me, and use <code>Default.aspx</code>?</p>
  
  <p>Is this what all other ASP.NET web developers do?</p>
