I have a (huge) website written in classic asp. Now do I have to switch to vb.net (razor). Is there a way to combine those 2 till the switch is complete ?

Is there a way to let the application work with classic asp and vb.net ?

  • So many votes for an obvious duplicate question? This isn't the first time someone has asked this, just think about the initial influx of Classic ASP devs switching to ASP.Net when it was first released. – user692942 Dec 16 '16 at 17:15
  • If you're going to start coding asp.net you really need Visual Studio. (I think the free version is now called Community Edition, previous versions were called Visual Web Developer). You'll find what you can do with Webmatrix is very limited. – John Dec 17 '16 at 14:42

MSDN says you can run .asp and .aspx on the same server

ASP and ASP.NET can both be used on the same Web server. That is, a Web site or Web application within a site can contain both ASP.NET pages and ASP pages. Because both ASP and ASP.NET pages can be accessed from the same Web server, you are not required to port your existing ASP pages over to ASP.NET-compatible pages. [...]
