Hello everyone, i'm a beginner programmer in .Net and Asp; i'm have stronger knowledge in asp.net than asp. I've downloaded the migration assistant to my C: drive, but i'm unable to use the migration tool. Per the instructions on how to run it, I go to File > Open > Convert to choose the migrations tool, but its not showing up as a converter in visual studio for me. I'm using visual studio 2005 by the way, is it something I have to add the asp migration tool to .Net framework from the prompt command? I don't know what I need to do to run the migration tool properly in visual studio. Can anyone help me? Thanks.

As far as I know, the migration assistant was for converting classic ASP to ASP.NET v1.x. (and it was rubbish - well, not that good).  I don't know of one that has been developed for converting to ASP.NET 2.0, which is what you will be using if you have VS2005.

Oh really, do you know of any online tools or resources that I could use that can automatically convert classic Asp to asp.net 2.0 or vb.net. I found a site that converts C# into vb.net,  (http://www.developerfusion.co.uk/utilities/convertcsharptovb.aspx)   but I need something that converts classic asp to asp.net 2.0 or vb.net. Would you know of anything, I can't find anything online.

Okay that makes sense, I thought it would be some kind of converter that would make it easy to convert classic Asp. Oh well, thanks for your advice and reply's. Have a good one.

Re-post from another thread.

The ASP to ASP.NET v1.x Migration Assistant http://www.asp.net/migrationassistants/asp2aspnet.aspx was not updated for .NET 2.0, and does not integrate into Visual Studio 2005 as it does with Visual Studio 2003.

The workaround is to

1. Download the ASP to ASP.NET v1.x Migration Assistant which (default) downloads to c:\Program Files\ASP to ASP.NET Migration Assistant. Then from the command line enter: [assumes directory where .asp pages are located is 'messaging'.
2. c:\Program Files\ASP to ASP.NET Migration Assistant>ASPUpgrade "C:/program files/messaging/website" /out d:/inetpub/wwwroot/Messaging

                        The syntax for this command is:   ASPUpgrade[.exe] <DirectoryName> [/Out] [/NoLog] | /LogFile] [/Verbose] [/ProjectName]

    3.   Open up Messaging as your website project within VS2005.

Then check out the _ConversionReport.htm in the same target wwwroot Messaging directory.
