Answer 1

So you are saying you want the default page in one directory to take you to a page in another directory?

I don't believe you can do that, rather, you have to have the ASPX page in the directory redirect to the page in the other directory.

Answer 2

You can create a Default.aspx page outside of your DynamicData folder as the default and just have that page redirect to the Orders/List.aspx page.

protected void Page_Init(object sender, EventArgs e) {
   Response.Redirect("Orders/List.aspx");
}

Answer 3

There's no problem with using a template for your default page. You need to set up the virtual directory properly in IIS. Read this information, it should help.
