I have an ASP project running against an Access 2000 database, which I want to 'convert' to run under ASP.net. How can I import that project into Web Matrix to see if it runs? The current asp files and other pages are neatly organised into a directory structure
- can I bring that in too? Are there any areas which are going to cause obvious problems for me? Lee
If you're going to go up to ASP.NET, just importing the same files is not the best way to go. simple ASP pages will work with teh aspcompat directive, but anything above 'braindead' would benefit from a complete rewrite to take advantage of ASP.NET's numerous
changes in data access. you could concievably use the current files as a 'base' for conversion, but it's more than just importing a bunchy of ASP scripts and expecting them to run striahgt off.... j
