I really like the MVC “way” and have actually enjoyed learning ASP.NET MVC (I never liked ASP.NET Webforms but I didn’t know why until now). The problem is I’m about to inherit a bunch of Webforms code and wondered if I’ll be able to add new things to the codebase with MVC instead off using Webforms. I suppose it depends a lot on how authentication is set up and if the code is set up in a way that I can include some library or something and just use those function or if I’ll have to recreate them or gasp duplicate them somewhere else. What should I worry about? Should I just stop messing with MVC and get working on Webforms or can I make it work together so that if I need to modify something from the Webforms codebase I can just remake it the MVC way as I move along?

    I would recommend attempting to only add new stuff using MVC and convert over the legacy webforms code as you can.

    This is a pretty decent post of putting them both together in the same project:
