Tools to migrate ASP applications to ASP.Net

ASP is the classic technology to design web applications. Most of the web applications were built in ASP before a decade; but when Microsoft released its .Net framework ASP .Net, the industry gave it an overwhelming response due to its incredible features. It made the web development process much easier and efficient than before. It introduced the backend programming in ASP .Net. In ASP, the applications were developed in a Scripting language but with ASP .Net, the developer has the options to choose from different languages like C#, J#, Visual basic, .Net etc.

Why migrate to ASP .Net? Simply I can say it will raise the standard of your web application. It will increase the stability and reliability of your application to a next level. Moreover, your application will be more scalable than before with ASP .Net. As a result, your application will gain a performance boosting from the framework. It also helps in avoiding the cross-browser compatibility issue for your application. The ASP .Net developer will have more control over the server side programming; because, ASP .Net provides a platform to isolate the server side programming from that of client side. It also helps in optimizing your application with proper use of cache memory.

ASP2ASPX tool: This is from Netcoole software solutions. It helps in migrating from ASP application to ASPX in a very less span of time. It converts the VBScript to C# or VB .Net as per the requirement of the web developer. It provides the support for code behind functions. It has various migration options like ASP built-in object to ASP .Net, ADO DB to nceADO .Net, File access system to nceScripting namespace etc. Moreover, it has the capability to analyse different data types of ASP and convert them to corresponding data type of .Net. It can generate the migration report after successful migration of the application or program.

ASP to ASP .Net migration assistance: It is yet another migration tool for ASP applications to ASP .Net platform. The best part is that it can be run from within the Visual Studio platform itself. With this tool, it converts all the .asp pages to .aspx page with all precautions. Moreover, it corrects all the references of the original file to the new file during migration. The references may be like href, including files, directives and form attribute etc. It also analyses all the variables and data types of ASP and converts them to ASP .Net data types. This tool performs just like the ASP2ASPX tool in many prospective.

Is it wise to rely on the migration tools? This is the biggest challenge while dealing with any migration tool. Well, you can’t rely on just a tool like ASP2ASPX or ASP to ASP >net migration assistance tool for all your requirements. A tool can convert the codes but it can’t understand your logic behind; so you must take care of the same while migrating an application. I would suggest you to keep a backup of the original file before you try for a migration; so that if any failure occurs you can roll back.
