Migrating A Classic ASP Application To 4.0
Jun 1, 2010
We are in design phase of a project whose goal is replatforming an ASP classic application to ASP.Net 4.0. The system needs to be entirely web based. There are several new requirements for the new system that make this a challenging project:
The system needs to be database independent. It must, at version 1.0, support MS SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL, Postgres and DB2. The system must be able to allow easy reporting from the database by third party reporting packages. The system must allow an administrative end user to create their own tables in the database through the web based interface. The system must allow an administrative end user to design/configure a user interface (web based) where they can select tables and fields in the system (either our system's core tables or their own custom tables created in #3) The system must allow an administrative end user to create and maintain relationships between these custom created tables, and also between these tables and our system's core tables. The system must allow an administrative end user to create business rules that will enforce validation, show/hide UI elements, block certain actions based on the identity of specific users, specific user groups or privileges.
Essentially it's a system that has some core ticket tracking functionality, but allows the end user to extend the interface, business rules and the database. Is this possible to build in a .Net, Web based environment? If so, what do you think the level of effort would be to get this done? We are currently a 6 person shop, with 2.5 full time developers.

some automated tools to help in migrating classic ASP to ASP.NET I tried to install "ASP to ASP.NET 1.x Migration Assistant" from the link below but it encountered a problem during installation. Has anyone used it? Any other better tools? I know everything cannot be automated but I would imagine there are some tools out there. [URL]

I have an old website running fine in Classic ASP with large customer base registered onto the site. The current site allows users to have their own user name(unique) registered against an ID assigned to them. They can change the User name later as well provided it is still Unique in the database(Database is SQLServer2005).
The Problem: Now i want to move the website to .NET and want to use the .NET Membership. I know how to create the database structure in SQL Server through aspnet_regsql script but my problem is how should i import the existing username and passwords as the password stored in MembershipDB is Hashed (salt). Also i might want to allow admins to impersonate as users later.

We have a few settings in our web application that can be user configured. As IIS exposes helpers for configuring "Connection Strings" and "Application Settings" we decided to take use this method of configuration.
Unfortunately this works by editing the Web.config file deployed in the web application. This means that a simple upgrade process of copying over the files from a newer web application release resets all configuration settings to the default.
Possible options:
When upgrading the webapp, backup the Web.config and restore it afterwards. This is not elegant and if the latest webapp defines new default-valued properties in the Web.config then this will break Write some admin-only configuration pages on the site and store the values in the DB. This puts the control back in our hands, but it will take work to write this and obviously has bootstrapping problems with connection strings.

We have a big classic ASP website, and we want to start writing new code in .net, (the website is way to big to rewrite 100% at this stage).
The old website uses session variables, will these still be accessible in the .net pages, and if not (which I suspect) is there anything we can do to make them accessible?
The new section is detachable, that is it is pretty much independent from the rest of the site so should be fine to write in .NET, it's just sessions which are important to us. Do we need another login page?
How bad practise would it be to ajax a local .net page which sets session info when they login to the old site? Can we copy session data this way?

I will be adding new pages and adding functionality to current pages.
I would basically like to use new technology and but I don't know how should I add it to classic ASP pages
In other words, can I <#--include--> an aspx page in Classic asp page? Or anything of that sort, may be creating a user control in ASP.NET and using it in classic ASP?

In my CMS application, I'm trying to intercept all ASP.NET requests, inspect them and then assign custom HttpHandler if necessary or leave default handling when appropriate.I tried setting HttpContext.Current.Handler in Application_BeginRequest but it doesn't seem to work.There is MapRequestHandler event in HttpApplication but it is not available in the Global application class.

I recently updated my VS2010 website project from .NET 3.5 to 4.0. Everything was working fine in the website project. Today I decided to migrate the website to a web application project as I have learned this is the best way to work in .NET. I split out all my class files into a separate class library and copied all my other content into my new project. Then I updated all the references and web.config.
When I build the class library, everything works great. The problem is happening when I try to build/debug the web application project. It is acting like all the controls are missing and it is also throwing a bunch of compile errors about the public properties I have in my master pages.
Control errors: "The name 'INSERT CONTROL NAME HERE' does not exist in the current context"
Master page errors:'System.Web.UI.MasterPage' does not contain a definition....
It is giving these errors for every single control and master page property in my entire solution.I notice when I add a new web.form to this project, it also adds a filename.aspx.designer.cs file in addition to the .aspx and .aspx.cs file. My existing files do not have these extra files since they were created in a different .NET version.
UPDATE: It seems I was missing the step where I need to right click on the new application folder and select "Convert to web application". I just did that and it seems to be a little bit better...
Now it is choking on Literals that are inside single quotes:
<div class='<asp:Literal ID="CssClassLiteral" runat="server"></asp:Literal>'>
It doesn't see this literal when it does the conversion... Is the above valid code or should I implement that functionality another way?

I'm getting close to finishing a public-facing ASP.Net app and I'm starting to weigh deployment options. I'm an ASP.Net/SQLServer veteran but noob when it comes to Azure. I'm wondering how others have felt about the learning curve to effectively migrate a local dev ASP.Net/SQLServer apps into Azure cloud. More specifically:How steep is the learning curve towards understanding administration and programming concepts, and do you think it's worth the investment?What is Microsoft's support like if I have catastrophic problems from my cloud infrastructure and my live site is down? My expectation is a large price tag for a not-so-urgent SLA.Will my non-Azure ASP.Net app require significant modification and/or coupling to run in the Azure environment?

I have upgraded my web site from 2.0 to 3.5 using VS2008 (loaded the project and selected 'yes' to the upgrade prompt), then deployed to the Live server. On the test system the website runs fine, on the Live, it fails with 'Assembly binding' (System.Core, System.Web.Extensions, and more) errors. When I commented out all the failed assemblies (just to see what happens) I got the error: 'csc.exe' cannot be found. Can anyone tell me what is wrong? 1. Is my upgrade method wrong? 2. Is there another way to upgrade? 3. How can I tell why the assemblies fail to bind?

What are the inherent risk of upgrading a website from the 2.0 framework to the 3.5 framework?
I know the features given to me in the upgrade, just curious if there are any known issues that may pop up when upgrading.
I.E. Function X used to behave this way, and now behaves a new way.

I know very little, and even less about .dll's. I have a fairly simple albeit old, application that references a .dll that seems to do the logic for connecting to an access backend. I don't have the source code for the dll, but I don't see any code anywhere elese to sigify the dataconnections etc. When I move the application from an old IIS6 server .net 1.0, over to a newer IIS7 server with .net 2.0osmething, I errors out (see below). When I remove the reference to the dll, the login pages comes up okay but I just can't login. So, something is up with my DLL. What do I need to do?
Error Information: Description: The application attempted to perform an operation not allowed by the security policy. To grant this application the required permission contact your system administrator or change the application's trust level in the configuration file.

You have a SQL Database with legacy data.
New functional requirements stipulate that what was once a one to many relationship is now a many to many relationship. The relationship comprises a simple lookup table
How does one manage the migration of data from the old structure to the new???
I have the following script which will move the data from/to the right tables:
[Code]....
What i'm wondering is, once i have run the script to copy the data across, do people recommend that the LegacyTable.LookUpPK_ID field be deleted permanently?

we are currently investigating a migration of an application that doesn't meet company standards. The application is built using VB6 and Shape SQL/Access. The application has about 120 reports by storing Shape SQL strings in a database which the user can modify using a wizard. Shape sql is not allowed at this company. We have investigated plain SQL, Linq, Entity Framework as alternatives... but all result in more complex solutions.
Update: Shape SQL is an ADO command to get hierarchical datasets, for further info:

I have a web project running fine with IIS 6, when I try to run this project in IIS 7 Integrated mode I am having all kind of problems with global.asax, it appears to me if any of the following objects or properties is access in Application_Start, exception will be thrown: HttpContext.Current.RequestHttpContext.Current.Reponse HttpContext.Current.Server.UrlEncode The exception will be something like:Response is not available in this context.I have no ideas why this happens. I am not even sure if it only happens in Application_Start since project could not execute. Also there might be more objects causing other problems that I haven't encountered yet.
