Ian,
I've been looking forward to working in .net, but it doesn't look like I have anything that will run it. Assuming I can get the guys at work to upgrade, do you by chance know if ASP.net is backwards compatible with standard asp/vb?

Sam,

Although .asp and asp .net can run on the same machine at the same time, it is not backwards compatible. To take advantage of the huge 2-3 times speed increase and better langauge support of ASP .NET, you will have to upgrade your code.
If you've got a lot of code, a good solution is problem to install both on the same server and migrate pieces as you have time.

Thanks Ian,
as always... very informative. I'm noticing some major changes between standard ASP and ASP.net
For example, .net seems to be tag based. Reminds me of a cross between cold fusion and java.
Do you know if there are any conversion utilities on the market yet?

Sam,

I haven't seen any but maybe someone else can post one up here. I'm considering making one myself for converting over PSC and RAC (that is, if I can't buy a good one).

Hi Ian,

As you know .Net is huge.
I would pretty much appreciate it if you break the net search group in more groups than only net.
How about ?
Net C# ; Net vb ; Net common ; ???

Thank you,

I really got in trouble trying to use some of the code, but than realizing it is done in VB while I am now, with net going towards C#.

Thank you again, I use Planet source code since 1997.
