Yes, you can do it page by page since you can use cookies from ASP in ASP.NET and similar.

Here is a guide you can look at if you want to do as less as possible to get it to work:

Time is a constraint here. I cannot start a new project to upgrade from asp to asp.net.
The system is well documented in urs, fs, ds, iq and oq.

I want to determine if it is possible to rollout a migration on a page by page basis.
Then to determine how to do the phased upgrade/rollout.

Thanks

If it was up to me I would have make sure every method and functionality is documented before doing anything. After that I would have created the models (just dummies or tests to start with) based on how the application should work. After that I would have created aspx files that access the methods and get dummy data to make sure everything is displayed as it should. And at last I should´ve rewritten everything and run it as a separate web site, not side by side.

But that´s just how I would do it. :-)

Hey,

I'm working in a sole developer environment and use SQL, VB6, ASP and JS for most development.
I have created several prototyping asp.net projects using the samples provided on this site.

I want to get on to using asp.net for new development in an existing data management system.
The system has approx 100 distinct functional pages provided to 5 roles.

What is the best way to proceed?
Can I simply setup an existing asp webapp on the .net framework and add new .aspx pages to deliver new functionality.
And, also to replace existing asp pages with upgraded functionality in aspx pages over a period of time.

Thanks for your advice
Michelle
