ASP to ASP.NET Migration Problems

[mahesh_575]

Hello

I am trying to migrate one page from ASP to ASP.NET.

I have downloaded .net sdk, webmatrix. but instead of using webmatrix, I started with changing extension from asp to aspx.
And offcourse made some changes to syntax. but it is giving error as follows

Compilation Error
Description: An error occurred during the compilation of a resource required to service this request. Please review the following specific error details and modify your source code appropriately.

Compiler Error Message: BC30188: Declaration expected.

Source Error:

Line 14:
Line 15: Response.Cache.SetExpires(DateTime.Now.AddSeconds(-1))
Line 16: Response.Buffer = True

Please kindly suggest quick steps / check list for migrating page from asp to asp.net

1. What kind of special changes should be done ?
2. Is it ok to include some asp/html files in an aspx file.
3. What is .cs file ? Is it necessary to create .cs file ?
4. What changes should be done in IIS server setting ?
5. Is there any really good web site, where all migration related practical points are given (not only theory).

Thanks and Regards
Mahesh

Well... Some quick hints...


1)Verfy that the @Page directives are correct. They are not the same as in asp

2)An aspx file is made of html code and some script language of your choice, as well as code declaration blocks...

3)It is a c sharp code behind file and is linked with the page directive "codebehind"... it's compiled and linked at first runtime of the page... kinda like the old .inc files but a bit different...

4)Just make sure the virtual directory setup is ok and that you have installed the .net framework...

5)I would suggest www.asp.net as well as www.w3schools.com
for tutorials.. as well as a good book!
