ASP.NET Migration Issues
One of the issues that will be faced by most users of ASP.NET is the migration from Classic ASP to ASP.NET. This section outlines areas of possible incompatibility between Classic ASP and ASP.NET web pages.
ASP and ASP.NET can run side by side on an IIS web server without interference; there is no chance of corrupting an existing ASP application simply by installing ASP.NET.
This side-by-side interoperability is done by using separate filename extensions for ASP and ASP.NET web pages. This means that migration will typically entail copying an .asp file to an .aspx file, testing it, fixing the problems, and then deploying it.
A list of possible problems due to incompatibility between Classic ASP and ASP.NET follows.
