POrting asp and VB to .NET

[Gwv]

Hi,

I have to estimate porting a system developed in asp (60%) and VB (40%) to
..NET
¿Can anybody give me an estimation or a pointer to documents that speak
about this kind of work?

Thanks in advance,

Gwv

The best way to approach this is to consider the .NET app to be a totally
new project and that, luckily, in this case you have a working prototype to
start from. However, estimate how long it would take you to develop it as if
the previous version never existed.

One thing, though: don't forget that ASP/VB and ASP.NET/VB.NET are *very,
very* different, even though the syntax may look quite similar, because of
the .NET Framework.

I would say it's a rewrite... since .NET is OO, and ASP/VB were not.

Some VB code maybe reused if it has been compiled as a COM object... but
even then I would seriously consider rewriting it unless it is very
complex.
