  Classic .asp renamed to .aspx

  Aug 11, 2003 05:19 PM|LINK

  I read somewhere that any classic .asp file can be renamed to .aspx and it will still work correctly. Is this true? Now my big question.. assuming the above is true, are there any performance gains in having a classic .asp file named .aspx. I.e., does the file get compiled like any other .NET script/program? Thanks!

  The above is NOT true. A very trivial page may work that way, but any reasonably complex page using VBScript will not just be able to be renamed and magically work as a VB.NET ASP.NET page.
