Dear Microsoft team,

we have an application, which was developed with classic ASP. We have found the information, that ASP.NET is the successor of classic ASP.
The question is, has the development of classic ASP been stopped at Microsoft side and if yes, when? Or is classic ASP still a part of ASP.NET?

Thank you!

Kind regards

    See Classic ASP Not Installed by Default on IIS 7.0 and above. ASP is not a part of ASP.NET, they both are parts of IIS.

    And do not confuse development with support. Microsoft still supports ASP.

    I'm just forced to pinpoint, again, the core Problem of this planned deprecation: a lot (really) of mission-critical corporate intra/extranet, health and banking webapps, as well as government agencies tools are using Classic ASP still perfectly fine and running in production.

    As they were highly customized and tailor made, they cannot be rewritten nor migrated to .NET, Node.JS, PHP, even in 10 years.

    Classic ASP must absolutely remain functional, or the consequences in REAL LIFE will really be numerous. Putting at risk so much worldwide services, companies, and people is just unthinkable, and this decision must be rethinked by the IIS team.

    All of the people still needing Classic ASP can sign this petition that is kindly addressed to Microsoft : https://chng.it/dLrrYsYbCL
