  Yeh should do.

  Publishing sites work slightly different to "other" sites (as they use Page Layouts and store values using the "Welcome Page" property, which you can set from Site Settings).

  Other sites (such as Team Sites / Blank Sites .. and really any non-publishing site) uses the WelcomePage property of the Root Folder.

  In order to set this I believe there is also a property in the SPWeb.AllProperties hash-table .. although the exact name of the value escapes me right this minute.

  Ok,
  So in case if somebody set some other page as home page ( by using SharePoint designer or any other means ), my code will give me correct page ?

  Hi, Shail

   

  After some testing, only “basic search” site is not a “publishing site”, and the web.RootFolder.WelcomePage property is “”, Enterprise Search Center and Search Center could work as expected.

  For some specific page, you could consider using hard code as a walkaround.

  Hope this can help.

   

  Best Regards,

  Aaron
