.NET Forum / ASP.NET / General / December 2007Can I convert an asp.net 1.1 website to an 2.0 site?
I have a website written in asp.net 1.1 Is it possible to convert it to asp.net 2.0 There is no solution or project file. I'm using VS2005. >I have a website written in asp.net 1.1 > > Is it possible to convert it to asp.net 2.0 > > There is no solution or project file.

I did open it with VS2005. I didn't notice the conversion wizard do anything. File, Open, Web Site... or File, Add, Existing Web Site... Afterwards I get warnings like this: Warning 2 'System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings' is obsolete: 'This method is obsolete, it has been replaced by System.Configuration!System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettin gs' D:\websites\AspNetJobs2\site\usercontrols\NewListings.ascx 29 Error 18 'System.Web.HttpRequest.QueryString' is a 'property' but is used like a 'method' D:\websites\AspNetJobs2\site\password\ViewApplication.aspx 16 [for the code: intApplicationID = Request.QueryString( "id" );] Perhaps the problem with this code is that it's just shot full of errors and maybe it never worked in the first place? Maybe I just downloaded bad code!, or an untested beta. >> Open it in VS.NET 2005 - the Converersion Wizard will kick in... > > I did open it with VS2005.

Can you still open it in VS.NET 2003...? > Afterwards I get warnings like this: That's right - the Conversion Wizard won't fix your code for you... > Perhaps the problem with this code is that it's just shot full of > errors and maybe it never worked in the first place?

The short answer is, yes, you can certainly convert a 2003 website to 2005. That said, I have not had much luck with the conversion wizard. It's definitely a nice start, but it was always a lot of work to get everything up and running again. It makes it a lot easier of the original developers followed strict best practices when developing the site. Hope that helps, SignatureSean Have done this, multiple times. 1 - create a project file using VS 2003 (open a new project, Add Existing Item) 2 - get the VS 2003 project functioning. 3 - Open the VS 2003 project with VS 2005 and the wizard will kick in. 4 - About 80% of the needed changes will be taken care of, the rest is on your own.
