Why would an aspx file return 404 (“The page cannot be found”)

Question

Why when I access an aspx (e.g., http://www.example.com/foo.aspx - not the real site) through IE6 would I get a 404 Error (i.e., \"The page cannot be found\") in IIS6

Answer 1

I just happened to find another culprit for this issue. My foo.aspx page referenced a particular master page that had a <%@ Register %> directive to a user control that did not exist. Removing the reference to the non-existent user control caused my foo.aspx to load instead of 404.
