Answer 1

You can try microsoft

ASP for ASP.NET 1.x Migration Assistant

Moving ASP to ASP.NET v1.x Helper is designed to help you convert ASP pages and applications to ASP.NET. This does not make the conversion process fully automatic, but it will speed up the project by automating some of the steps necessary for migration.

I think this is better than nothing.

Answer 2

We converted several ASP classic applications to .net and in the process of converting others.

We first divided them into two groups - those that we completely converted before replacing the old with new ones, and then those that we could convert gradually.

For this second group, it was useful to create some title and sidebar controls for the application, which also involved some of the more programmable parts - security, navigation, etc., and then use an iframe to store ASP classic articles in areas that we have not received yet.

This was pretty painless, as we can pull out the old and insert the new one according to our own schedule, instead of rewriting the entire massive application before moving forward. It also helped us adapt changes and new features to our customers' needs.

Answer 3

There is a quick and dirty way to convert from ASP to ASP.Net, because ASP.Net supports the built-in encoding used in ASP Classic. However, you will not fully use ASP.Net with this approach.

The bad news is that there is no easy way to convert the "correct" from ASP Classic to ASP.Net. They are such different technologies, there is no optimized conversion process.

Answer 4

one is a scripting language, and the other is compiled, so the paradigm itself is completely different, and I am very skeptical that in any case, to convert or transfer your application from classic asp to asp.net if you are going to use asp. the way it was supposed to be.
