You need to register routing in the global.asax file as per below:

```
Sub Application_Start(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)    RegisterRoutes(Routing.RouteTable.Routes)End Sub Public Shared Sub RegisterRoutes(ByVal routeCollection As Routing.RouteCollection)    routeCollection.MapPageRoute("DefPage", "", "~/common/webpage/default.aspx")
```
