  No there isn't anything like that built in to visual studio.

  You can generate a list of all the aspx files by going to the project root in a cmd window and using dir:

  1. Press start | run
  2. Type cmd and press enter
  3. Navigate to the folder by using cd C:\put\your\foldernamehere
  4. Type dir /b /s *.aspx > list.txt
  5. Look in the C:\put\your\foldernamehere for file called list.txt which will contain all of your aspx files

  The /b means bare results (not full paths with extra info)

  /s is subdirectories as well as current

  *.aspx means only match files with .aspx extension

  > list.txt means redirect the output to a file rather than displaying it on screen

  I have seen sitemap providers which base their index from the file system before... you could probably find a tutorial for that.

  Also if you want to get your wallet out here is a web.sitemap generator which will also make you a google friendly sitemap.xml file:

  Trouble is it would probably do it badly :P

  By the time you have finished checking that it hasn't done something stupid and that you haven't got pages you dont want in there (like your confirmation pages from form submits or shopping carts) or that it hasn't missed ones you do want (like sites using url rewritters).

  You should have a read of an article I did last year.  It was about how to dynamically create a sitemap for your website using LINQ.

  That could very well have been the tutorial I was referring to [:)]
