• Re: Convert Coldfusion pages to ASP.NET

  I think you're chasing a pipe dream. There is none I've ever heard of, and I can't imagine there ever will be. Coding in traditional CFML is SO different than coding in ASP.NET. It just would never work for an automated tool to do that conversion. That said, many who extol the benefits of converting an app from CF to something else (making it more maintainable and scalable) would find that if they just rewrote it in CFML (staying on CF or BD) would see many of the same benefits. Often

• Re: Silly Question...

  I had tried to send this earlier but it didn't get through. No, there's no special configuration needed. Here's what I'd written, to add to Jeff's reply: Yep. They really have no connection to each other at all. Even if you use IIS to serve up both types, the mappings (to .cfm and .aspx, for example) are to entirely different engines. Just run their default installs and you should have no problem. That said, the fact that they don't have any conneciton to each other also means that they don't share

• Re: Justifying the Move!!!

  Well, there are at least two responses that come off the top of my head. In CF's defense, I will say that often when there are tragic memory leak problems like this, as tempting as it is to blame CF itself, that's usually not the cuplrit. It could be database driver issues (particularly if using ODBC drivers), it could be coding practices (CF folks tend to stuff huge amounts of data into shared scopes like session, application, or server), or other things. Honestly, for every person who has said

• Re: Converting from Coldfusion to ASP.net newbie questions

  Lard, do you really mean that you have "the images stored on the database"? Or just their file names. It would seem you mean the latter, since you're building an IMG tag which takes the file name. As such, what's the real question? How to do the equivalent of a CFOUTPUT? Check out the options on this page: http://dotnetjunkies.com/QuickStartv20/aspnet/doc/pages/syntax.aspx As for an equivalent for evaluate, it may be better to ask what you want to evaluate. Often, you don't need to (and can instead

• Re: conversion from Coldfusion to ASP.net - Please Help

  Are you referring to simply using such an approach so as to hide to the outside world that your app is written in CFML? Or do you mean to have the CFML processed by the .NET framework (because you have no ColdFusion server installed)? In the latter case, you may have read that this is indeed possible by using a 3rd party product, BlueDragon.NET. It extends .NET (and IIS) to run CFML pages by way of the bluedragon.dll which is a managed assembly that implements a CFML runtime atop .NET (1.1 or 2.0

• Re: Convert Coldfusion pages to ASP.NET

  Nick, yes, sorry, I do work for New Atlanta. My email client would of course place that in my signature but typing this email here I didn't think to add it. (Actually, I'd also presumed it was clear from my previous postings in this forum, but of course it's reasonable that someone in a new thread may not have seen previous ones.) Your comment about being a highly experienced coder sounds like you're trying to defend against some attack by me on your skills. I wasn't at all. I was just asking whether

• Re: Convert Coldfusion pages to ASP.NET

  Nick, you say, "Blue dragon has a lot of issues - I was in on a test at a (very large) client for it. They passed on it." Can I just remind everyone that moving to CFMX can have "a lot of issues". It's all about perspective, as well as the state of your code. There are plenty of sites that move to BlueDragon with no issues at all, and some that have minor ones. There can be some who may have major ones. It's a little unfair to castigate it entirely like that. We all know that there are some who would

• Re: Sharing/passing Data between coldfusion and asp.net

  Stephen's right: you can't share sessions between CF and ASP.NET, but as Vince pointed out above, you can share sessions between your CFML code and ASP.NET if you run that CFML code using BlueDragon , an alternative CFML engine from New Atlanta. The BD.NET edition runs CFML natively on .NET and can not only share sessions but also permits includes back and forth between CFML and ASP.NET, the ability to call .NET classes from CFML using CFObject/CreateObject, the ability to call CFCs from ASP.NET

• Re: Questions on Coldfusion

  Shazaam, it seems your pitting us against each other and I never intended that. I'm sorry if that somehow happened. We're certainly not looking to turn .NET folks back to CFML. We solve a problem, we do it well, and to be honest full compatibility isn't really that significant to those with more challenging problems. Even so, I'm happy to point out that one loses only 4 tags from CFMX 6.1 (and again, if someone's happily on CFMX 7 then they have no need to consider us.) All that is discussed on our

• Re: Questions on Coldfusion

  As you say, there is certainly testing needed if one wants to leverage the platform benefits of .NET by moving such legacy CFML to BlueDragon.NET. Still, it's a substantially smaller commitment of time than completely rewriting the CFML to ASP.NET. Not denying that there are times when "throwing the baby with the bathwater" is justified, but for many shops, that just too great a challenge. Not to mention the cost/time to retrain (or replace) their CFML folks, and all the while continue to respond
