Some final Follow up Questions from the Launch 2005 tour - Upgrading from ASP to ASP.Net 2.0

In almost every city of the Launch during the Q&A or in the Ask the Experts area people asked about the upgrade path from traditional ASP to ASP.Net 2.0. The upgrade was not trivial from ASP to ASP.Net 1.1 and this is also the case from ASP to ASP.Net 2.0.
 
A conversion tool VS03 add-in was created to convert from ASP to ASP.NET 1.x, but it was not always as successful as one might have liked. It was decided to not support the conversion from ASP to ASP.NET 2.0 in the VS05 web project migration wizard because of the complexity involved.
 
The best approach is to convert your ASP web project directly to ASP.NET 2.0 manually. A couple of resources that can help you accomplish more quickly.
 
First, review the ASP conversion white papers to familiarize yourself with the issues of moving from ASP to ASP.NET 1.x. http://msdn.microsoft.com/asp.net/learning/learn/migratingfromasp/default.aspx. Some of these will apply but also consider that there are differences from ASP.Net 1.1 to ASP.Net 2.0.
 
Secondly, review the ASP.NET 1.x to 2.0 conversion white papers to familiarize yourself with those issues. http://msdn.microsoft.com/asp.net/reference/migration/upgrade/
 
With those two whitepapers in hand and reviewed it should make it easier to manually convert those ASP applications to ASP.Net 2.0
