I was wondering if there is a way to convert and HTML template to ASP.NET? I am trying to convert a website template that was written in HTML that contains Javascript and CSS files to ASP.NET so I can connect to a SQL Server database.
I have limited coding experience with ASP.NET so any help is appreciated!
I also have access to an ASP template but it is not ASP.net unfortunately.
I’m afraid to say you are going to have to get familiar with .NET for this however I like many others had to do this back in the day… although now you have many other factors like are you going to migrate to a Webforms based ASP.NET application or an ASP.NET MVC application.
You can just put your HTML content into an .aspx page however you are going to have to learn the fundamentals of .NET and perhaps things like ADO.NET, LINQ to SQL, nHibernate to get connected to a database.
This may help, but it is rather old: http://www.asp.net/web-forms/videos/migrating/migrating-from-classic-asp-to-aspnet
Microsoft do have a lot of information to help you make this transition… http://www.asp.net/get-started
Not the best answer I realise but you will have to take on a bit of a learning curve, and who knows, you may end up loving .NET, C#, VB, etc, etc… Trust me, it won’t be that hard!
