Change the Default page with MVC

I want to change the Default page mydomain.com/Views/Home/Index.chtml of an MVC application to point to another Default page in the application root mydomain.com/Default.aspx.

This is the default configuration of the MVC Default MapRoute. How can I change the configuration to point to mydomain.com/Default.aspx? I'm new to MVC and I'm trying to understand how the RegisterRoutes function works.

public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
    {
        routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");

        routes.MapRoute(
            name: "Default",
            url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
            defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
        );
    }
}

You have to set route config .

routes.MapRoute(
            name: "Default",
            url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
            defaults: new { controller = "Admin", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
        ).DataTokens.Add("area", "AdminMaster");

Here AdminMaster is Area , Conttroller Name is Admin and Action Name is Index . If your default page in another Area , then you have to specify Area also .

Thanks .

Well I think more cleaner and correct way to do is to migrate your aspx page to a cshtml view and add this as a default route to your route.config

Otherwise a workaround is to redirect from the default route to aspx page.

Have a look at Scott's blog here

From URL Rooting in ASP.NET (Web Forms) - chsakell's Blog, add this before the default MVC route: 

routes.MapPageRoute("default", "", "~/Default.aspx");

You could also probably accomplish this using a filter, but it might be easiest just to do a redirect in the Index action of the HomeController.

public class HomeController : Controller
{
    public ActionResult Index()
    {
        return Redirect("~/Default.aspx");
    }   
}
