Migration from ASP3.0 design to ASP.NET (Tips, Pointers, Preference)

Hi All

I'm a seasoned ASP programmer and have been writing ASP for years. I've
decided now to stop writing ASP and jump onboard the ASP.NET bandwagon
(albeit a bit late).

I've been programming in C# for a while but have only done some very
basic ASP.NET projects. The main hurdle I'm having trouble with is
finding a good method of laying out pages, I guess templates.

I've tried user controls, base page inheritance, dynamic controls,
dragging user controls on etc. But I still haven't decided on the best
way of doing things.

In traditional ASP I used Server.Execute/Transfer or the <!--Include-->
directive, typically with the commonly used Header/Footer layout.

So - What methods to people typically use to build their ASP.NET site
whilst reducing the page design overhead? I quite like the page
inhertiance method but I'd like to here other peoples' opinions. (I've
read about MasterPages briefly too)...

Hi Joe,

Why don't you start off with ASP.NET 2.0, it will be released relatively
soon and it has some far better features than the current version.

Master pages will solve your problems with page templates. You can simply
design multiple master pages, (ie. templates), and apply them to sections of
your website.

If you do want to use the current ASP.NET then I would use custom user
controls and simply include them in your page.

Hope this helps.

I have been researching the best approach to migrating a VB6 application into a VB.NET application. There is a lot of information out there but most of it recommends that you "train in the migration process before jumping into it". One site even recommends that this training process should take at least 2-3 weeks. I'm not sure how you can train for such a process...but maybe I'll find something while I'm researching. I was wondering if anyone...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not.
