Migration of an APS 3.0 application to ASP.Net

[Miz]

Hi,

What effort is demanded to migrate an ASP3.0 application to ASP.Net?
Does the ASP3.0 application work without any changes in ASP.Net?
If not, what changes is needed?

The ASP3.0 application take use of ADO for database access and also it use take use of the free mail component Jmail.

Must the ADO handling be modified?
Will the mail component work?

Thanks!

You have quite a task ahead of you. You will need to modify all the data calls that use ADO to use ADO.NET. You should still be able to use the JMail component. You might even look to see if they have a version for .NET or sample code on how to use it in .NET. But the change over should go fairly quickly becuase you dont have to worry about a bunch of inline code, you can do most everything through events and postbacks.

Hope this helps.

Thanks!
Just to be sure I got another question....

The only code I have to change is the ADO calls? What about the other ASP 3.0 code? Can I keep it?

The code will be similar but not the same. Remember there is a distinct structure to .NET apps. Go to msdn.microsoft.com and take a look at the articles about .NET
