ASP to ASP .NET compatiblility

[Kit Truong]

Hello,

I have developed an ASP application using VBScript which now has to be moved
to another server which is running ASP .NET Framework 1.1

My question is, approximately how much of my code would I have to change to
make my code work on the new server.

Thanks.

It depends on whether or not you care about just making it work, or you want
it to be more efficient and maintainable and take advantage of the .net
architecture.

If it's the former, for the most part, the changes won't be too bad I think,
it all depends on what you are doing exactly.
If it's the latter, you will end up redesigning and more or less rewriting
the app, but you will end up with a more maintainable and efficient
application.

Technically none as long as asp is allowed on the server. ASP and ASP.NET
run in entirely different worlds.

If your asking how much code you would need to change to turn your asp code
to an asp.net app then probably the bulk of it would have to be rewritten.
