default value for LoginUrl

[Guest]

I have read that when using Forms Authentication, if you do not specify a
value for the LoginUrl attribute it defaults to default.aspx.

However, to test this, I create an application, add a new form called
default.aspx and set up forms authentication. When I run the program, the
exception thrown says that login.aspx cannot be found.

Why didn't it look for default.aspx?

MSDN documentation for FormsAuthentication.LoginUrl says the default value
is login.aspx.

Please refer to

I am using VS 2003 (The LoginUrl property is new to 2.0) and specifying this
in my web.config file, not in code. Therefore, if I do not specify the
LoginUrl attribute in my web.config file, where should it take me?

Yes, LoginUrl property was introduced in .NET 2.0. Nevertheless, the default
value for the loginUrl attribute (in web.config) is login.aspx in 1.1 too.
