I want my app to run the razor view I'm currently working on when I run the app instead of it defaulting to the home/index page.

Hi id3ma,

Accroding to your description,as far as I think,there are two ways:

1.set default page in iis:

Administrative Tools-> IIS Manager -> You Server Name -> Your site name -> Under HTTP features -> Default document -> Add MyDefaultPage.aspx -->Enable

2.write follow in web.config:

<defaultDocument>
            <files>
                <clear />
                <add value="Logon/LogonScreen.aspx" />
            </files>
        </defaultDocument>

Thanks this is for IIS.  I'm looking for an answer on how to test the current View in VS 2019.

Hi id3ma,

Accroding to your description,as far as I think,you could right click your project and set as startup project and then  you could select the properties-->web-->current page

If you have setted a view as start page,you could cancel.You need to select the properties -->web -->clear the specific page items and select current page.
