Classical ASP

Question

Can I run the classical ASP pages in Visual Studio 2022. Can we migrate the projects and run on the windows server in Production with same classical pages. Kindly provide the details so that I can choose correct method to upgrade the application or rewrite the application with current standard.

Answer 1

it works just file. I use IIS, but you can use IISExpress.

1. Map the source folder to its so the site runs.
2. In IIS asp config select debug = true
3. open code folder with vs 2022. set a break point
4. open site in browser
5. in vs2022 attach to the appool, and select script debugging
6. refresh the page.

you can also make a dummy project. create an asp.net empty web site. this creates a solution file. delete the bin folder and packages.config. copy the files to your asp folder. now open the project. set debugging to custom server http://localhost/<site>. set the start page. start without debugging and attach as above.
