We have a site and a logged in section of the site that all was written in classic asp. We are starting to convert the site pages to asp.net 3.5. We are starting with the easiest pages (text mainly) first then we will rewrite the web application part of the site.
My question is - Is it possible to run the new asp.net 3.5 pages with classic asp pages? Or will we need to rewrite everything before deploying?
We have recently migrated one of our legacy websites (classic ASP) to ASP.Net 4.0. I have already created a RegisterRoutes() in Global.asax (as per [URL]). I am concerned about SEO rankings and link breakages with external sites linking to old site.
Ideally, I will like to: Load all the routes from an XML file within RegisterRoutes() --> As there are 100's of pages with no naming convention followed. We have already created mappings within an excel spread sheet which can easily be exported to XML.Action Permanent redirects from within RegisterRoutes() --> to avoid having landing page(s) performing Redirects like Response.RedirectPermanent() and Response.RedirectToRoutePermanent. Has anyone run into a similar situation? Is there a better way of handling this situation?
i have an asp.net website which contains a link to a legacy site written in classic asp which has vb 6 classes (dll) in the back ground also.here is what i am trying to achieve:-i want to browse to the asp.net website using IE7,then when the link is clicked then enters the classic asp site i want to start debugging the classic asp and step through it.(also to make things worse, once a the vb6 class is instanciated, and a call make to its method i want to debug the method in the vb 6 code)My system :- XP Pro, IIS 5, Visual Studio 2005 (asp.net project ), Visual interdev 6 (classic asp project) Visual Basic 6 (vb 6 classes compiled into dll)i have been trying everything with no joy, there is lots on the net but nothing seems to have worked.i have the back office components installed so asp debugging is possible, i have configured the asp website s debugging is turned on.if i add a breakpoint to the classic asp site and hit the start button in visual interdev i can step through it fine.My problem is that if i attach interdev to a process (iexplorer.exe or dll.host) then the breakpoints are not hit. if anyone can help me with this it would be great.ont top of that, if anyone can explain to me how to also debug the vb6 dll code in visual basic 6 when it is called from the classic asp site that would be great!
View 1 Repliessome 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]
View 6 RepliesI'm updating an old process that already exists, which works as follows:
The user submits a form which runs the following asp (simplified, names changed):
<%
set rb = Server.CreateObject("RecordBuilder.SomeObject")
rb.Calculate()
rb.StartProcess()
%>
The RecordBuilder.SomeObject was an old VB6 DLL, I don't have VB6, so I converted it to VB.NeT 4.0
The call to Calculate() works as expected, the call to StartProcess() fails.
StartProcess() is the following:
Public Function StartProcess()
Try
strProcess = "Starting process"
Dim proc = New Process()
proc.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = True
proc.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = False
proc.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = True
proc.StartInfo.FileName = "d:AppRecordProcessor.exe"
Dim procHandle = proc.Start()
strProcess = "Started process"
Catch ex As Exception
Err.Raise(vbObjectError + 9999, "RecordBuilder.SomeObject", strProcess & " failed: " & ex.Message & "<hr />Stack Trace:<br />" & ex.StackTrace)
End Try
End Function
This fails with the call to proc.Start(), however if I copy the test ASP to a .vbs file it will work as expected.
I have changed the permissions on d:AppRecordProcessor.exe to grant execute permission to the group Everyone.
I've recently been given the task of diagnosing and fixing an internally written asp site that is used to transfer large files internally and externally.
The user uploads a file and enters the receivers email address. The receiver can then click on the link which takes them to the retrieval section of the site.
The issue is although we currently have an upload limit of 100MB set within the web.config file "maxRequestLength=102400", when a user uploads a file of more than 60MB although the upload works and the file is copied to the server when the receiver tries to access it the page simply displays "Internet Explorer cannot display this page".
The site works fine for files that are smaller than 60MB so I don't think it's a code issue, but I can't be 100% certain.
I am trying to convert existing classic ASP webpages to ASP.NET. I dont have a lot of knowledge in the area. This is what i currently have. I use a Microsoft Access to pass data to tables in a Oracle Database. I then have .asp pages that pull data from the oracle tables. I just recently installed Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate and i want to start converting my .asp pages to .aspx. I have never used Visual Studio before so I am stuck at the beginning of this process. Do i start by creating a new ASP.NET Web application? I know there are things i need to add to the Webconfig file too but i dont know exactly what.
View 6 RepliesI am making MSSQL stored procedure CLR calls from ASP pages. When an exception occurs, it is logged and then rethrown. In this scenario I need to be able to handle the exception (if possible) in the ASP page. Note that I cannot move away from classic ASP in this instance; I am stuck within a legacy system for this project. let me know if you know of a way to handle the exceptions in classic ASP.
View 1 RepliesI picked up a new-to-me client who had a site built in ASP.net (which I do not host).I converted the site to PHP, which worked fine.I want to set up redirects for all the pages he had in the old site (it was a small site, so there was only 8 pages).As an example, the ASP.net url for the Contact page was www.domain.com/Contact - it is now www.domain.com/Contact.php (and so on).
For 301 redirects from one PHP page to another I normally use the .htaccess file:
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
#custom redirects
rewriterule OldPage.php http://www.domain.com/NewPage.php [R=301,L]
#end custom redirects
What can I do to redirect these ASP.net pages to the new PHP pages?They are all static pages with no dynamic content.
I have a website that's in Classic ASP on a hosted server. I'd like to be able to create some "virtual" pages so I can specify google-friendly URLs that translate to ASPs [URL] this_is_the_help_page instead of [URL]admin/helpsubsystem/help.aspx?current_user etc As the server also supports ASP.NET - could I use an HTTP Handler to intercept these calls and do any necessary translations?

View 2 RepliesI'm working on a website with legacy Classic ASP pages (being converted to ASP.NET on an as needed basis) and new ASP.NET pages. Use of IIS 7 Integrated Pipeline has been very helpful with our configuration. For example, we were able to get forms authentication working auto-magically with the classic ASP pages simply by configuring the appropriate sections of the web.config file (i.e. no changes were required to the Classic ASP pages, for more info see this).
A colleague of mine believes that custom error pages, as specified in the web.config <customErrors> section, should also be auto-magically applied to the classic ASP pages, but for our website it only works for the ASP.NET pages. Nor have I been able to find any information describing the capability of applying custom error pages to Classic ASP with the IIS 7 integrated pipeline. Is it possible to apply custom error pages to Classic ASP pages per a web.config for an website running under IIS7 with integrated pipeline? If so, how?
When i'm trying to debug or view pages of my site in browser asp.net dev server doesn't turns on pages automatically and when im trying to go by url it throws me an error See the end of this message for details on invoking just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

I have two examples to show you what I want to achieve here. But to point what's different about my question, Is that I'm having a parametrized URLs and I want to implement URL rewriting to my application. But I don't want to convert the parameter in the URL to be placed between slashes..."page.aspx?number=one" to "pages/one/" << NOT!
First example:
http://localhost:1820/Pages/Default.aspx?page=2&start=5
To
http://localhost:1820/Pages/page2
Second example:
http://localhost:1820/Items/Details.aspx?item=3
To
http://localhost:1820/Items/ItemName
But I'll still need all the parameters in the original URLs

I'm not getting any build errors, but it seems like Visual Web Developer is only building the page being previewed. I tried building and rebuilding the site before previewing, but without solving my problem.

I am taking over for a website in ASP.Net (VB.Net) where the live site is compiled code. So there's no code behind pages. So other than the ASP.Net pages, it's just DLL files in the bin folder.It's also at an ISP where I have no control over the server to remote in.
I have gotten from the client, what I believe to be the latest and greatest code. So there's code behind pages and also a vbproj file. It seems to be have done in an early version of Visual Studio.Thinking maybe 2003.I only have Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2010 (I've been using) and VS2005.So I made a very basic change just to test the waters and built the website, which made a brand new DLL for the site in bin. Also new pdb and xml document. It works fine on dev.I uploaded just this DLL to live. However on live, when I get to the part where I'm submitting a form.I get a very non descript error.

I know it is possible to add custom headers via the httpProtocol >>customHeaders section of the web.config for 2.0+ sites but this is not allowed on 1.1. Is there an easy way to add meta tags to all pages of a site? I've already tried the httpHeaders tab in iis(6) but with no luck.

I just published a very small site to GoDaddy that I programmed in Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2008. The site only contains 6 sheets, none of which are data intensive. Each has a few small images that serve mostly to navigate to the other sheets. There is no data, no SQL, nothing like that. There is one master page that governs the page layout for all of the pages. Everything works fine, for the most part. I am posting because the site loads quite slowly, particularly considering how little content is being loaded. Can anybody give me any advice about what I should look at to speed this thing up a little bit?
View 2 RepliesWorking on an ecommerce site which will be integrated with a 3rd party vendor--that vendor uses different identifiers for stores than we use internally (i.e. their store ABC123 is our 001-321). I'm researching the best approach to inspect incoming requests for reserved query-string parameters that indicate the request is using their identifiers and map the identifiers back to our identifiers (so if the request is example.com/&theirId=ABC123 I want to transform the request to example.com/&ourId=001-321). To do this mapping I need to inspect the provided ID, execute a lookup against the database or cache, and forward the request to the specified page--limiting the modifications to just the query-string parameters (other parameters will need to be maintained, as with the details of the HTTPHeader, etc). So far I'm researching a few different approaches: Implementing it in a base Page (which already does too much, but has the benefit of our Logging infrastructure and some other injected dependencies) Implementing it in an IHttpModule Using URL RewritingUsing URL Routing (looks like routing isn't what I want, feel free to offer insight if you think it still fits) Performance cost is a consideration: the actual number of times this translation will occur will be very small compared to the number of requests not requiring it--perhaps 1%. However for another integrated site we will perform this mapping on nearly every request--would a different approach be better suited to this scenario from the previous?

View 2 RepliesI have an interesting issue I have racked my brain trying to find a solution to.
I have a site with a single master page. Part of that master page is a text field and button. They are not part of a content placeholder, they are simply part of the master page, itself, and are intended to allow people to search the site from any page on the site.
So, all search requests are routed to a search.aspx page, regardless. I am doing this by setting the PostBackUrl attribute of the button control to "search.aspx".
This all works great, except when I try to use this search capability from the search.aspx page, itself. I figure this is because I am using the Page.PreviousPage object and since a postback from the search.aspx page, itself will result in the Page.PreviousPage being Nothing, it is not performing the proper action.
I am building a project in asp.net 4.0. My navigation will be database driven where i return a datatable from the db containing all the pages of my site, some will be top level while others will be children and sometimes children of children n-times. Im thinking of going down the nested repeater route and databinding from code behind, dynamically generating repeaters for children, but have read that this is not a best practice and should consider the listview control. Im wanting to build a list of links using an unordered list.
