Is it possible to directly return a Classic ASP web page as an Action

  • 0

Is it possible to directly return a Classic ASP web page as an Action Result etc? I have just inherited a stack of Classic ASP applications that are still being maintained and even extended.

I am looking to stop writing new Classic ASP code move to an MVC based setup (as that is the direction the department is going). Therefore I am looking for any options that don’t require me to rewrite all the applications but allow me to slowly add features written in ASP.Net.

Ideally I would like to organise features around controllers etc and then return existing ASP pages as the result of Actions. I’d like the URL structure to look the same as a normal MVC site.

Any thoughts or advice? I know there are other posts on this. Haven’t seen any that are trying to return ASP pages via Action Result etc.

Thanks

Graeme

    No. The best you could do is redirect. If you are migrating some legacy classic ASP site to ASP.NET MVC you could do it progressively. You can start replacing pages one by one by introducing controllers, models and views. iframes could also be used as a temporary solution to interoperate between the two technologies during the migration.
