Hello Michael,
Shane and Natty are right. You can work with and run existing ASP pages (.asp files) as-is in Visual Studio. You can use ASP
pages and ASP.NET pages in the same project. You can edit ASP files in the Web Forms Designer and run them as you
would other pages in your project.
However, some ASP and Visual InterDev 6.0 features are not supported by ASP.NET, because these features require a
different run-time environment. For example, Structural Compatibility, ( Presents the differences in page layout and coding
style between ASP and ASP.NET), ASP.NET Security, (Provides a brief discussion of ASP.NET security)...
For details, please refer to MSDN topic: "Migrating ASP Pages to Web Forms Pages" at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en...asp?frame=true.
Hope it helps.
Best regards,

!Hello.
!
!We have a web-application built in ASP.NET using WebForms
!and Remoting. When selling this application we always
!incorporate it into the customers existing web-site. Our
!latest
!customer wishes to do some more advanced integration
!between our application and their
!existing site, namely using asp-includes to get the
!menusystem of their external site integrated with our
!applications WebForms.
!
!Their existing site is written in old ASP and VisualBasic
!and a lot of code is present in their asp-files. The
!question is:
!
!Is there any way to wrap the old ASP-code, allowing their
!pages to execute the old VB code and still include them
!using asp-includes in our ASP.NET WebForms ? When we've
!tried it we get a lot of parse-errors, and we're assuming
!this is because the .NET Framework tries to execute their
!ASP-files in the .NET enviroment.
