Question

When I loaded up my new website I have some of it using MVC and the other half using static pages.

The first page should be index.html

However when I go to http://domain, it goes directly in to the MVC controller.

It does not go to index.html, even though I have IIS pointing to this page, it might be due to the fact that I am using wild cards from within IIS, as detailed in my blog http://www.bryanavery.co.uk/post/2009/07/02/Deploying-MVC-on-IIS-6.aspx

But I need the first page to go to index.html when I select http://domain

Any ideas?

You could direct the path to a controller action and return the file like this:

public ActionResult Index()
{
    return File("index.html", "text/html");
}
