Question

I wanna start my project from a file except Default.aspx
e.g : MasterFile.aspx

Is there a setting for doing that in Visual Studio 2010?

Thanks.

Default page settings is somewhat different from one version of IIS to another version.

If you have IIS7 or IIS Express then add following entry in web.config file

<system.webServer>
    <defaultDocument>
      <files>
        <clear/>
        <add value="MasterFile.aspx"/>
      </files>
    </defaultDocument>
</system.webServer>

Or you may use urlMappings,

<system.web>
     ....
    <urlMappings>
      <add url="~/Default.aspx" mappedUrl="~/MasterFile.aspx"/>
    </urlMappings>
</system.web>
