Unless I've suddenly lost what few brain cells I had left your question makes no sense. Whatever it is you want you'll need to explain it a bit more since we are not telepathic.

ASP 3.0 is the latest and last version of good ol' ASP.

Well, blow me down you're right: Ladies ASP as we call it now.

Manfred Rudolf Bihy 8-Jul-11 10:47am

Used that stuff from '96 through '98. Guess that makes me a lady now. ;)

R. Giskard Reventlov 8-Jul-11 10:56am

I did too (from about 96 to roughly 2001ish): just didn't connect Asp 3.0 with, well, Asp Classic.

A bit more detail would be nice...

Thanks to Manfred for deciphering your question.

There are, as far as I am aware, no tools that can directly convert Ladies Asp to Asp.Net. The 2 can live side by side and MS recommend (memory search going back decades...) that you convert 1 page at a a time taking Session and Application state into account, amongst other things.

The times I did this we found it best to use the old site as reference, do some more BA and then write from scratch.

That's the route I'd prefer too! 5+
Alas, I also know of tight schedules and stupid mangagement decisions that happen. Let's hope for OP they're allowed to redesign the legacy code.

I would definitely recommend a full re-write as just "porting" the code would probably miss out on many of the new features/paradigms that are about now (regardless of langauge) - indeed there are probably hacks (sorry workarounds) in the original code to handle stuff like this.

It's not very likely for you to find a tool that will help you in transitioning from good old ASP (whatever version) to ASP.NET. The concepts behind are too different. For some solid advice read also here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/111071/tools-for-converting-from-asp-to-asp-net[^].
You may also want to look into this MSDN article for help: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dddsc60w(VS.71).aspx[^] too.

[Edit]
Just found this: http://aspclassiccompiler.codeplex.com/[^]. It could be helpful, but you'll have to look into this yourself. :)
