Between asp and asp.net?
For all I know I use asp.net already in my wacky coding.

Looking at your home page... I would say you are accustomed to asp classic. The leap to dot net is a big one... but inevitable I think.

Totally agree.

wingking:

The differences are so many that I'm really not going to list them, but think of it as the next improved version of classic ASP.

I heard Microsoft will not drop support for classic ASP for at least 5 years, but I have the feeling they will drop it in 2/3 years, maybe even releasing IIS 7 with no support for classic ASP at all.

I still use classic ASP because I have to deliver on time, no time to test, try, see if I can in ASP.NET, but sooner or later I have to make the jump (approaching the edge already).

Well, classic asp has 6 ojects - e.g. response object, session object, etc..
asp.net has 3400 objects

I still do a lot in asp because it's been around for a long time and I know it well. I find that I use it as a quick and dirty utility language more than as a site constuction methodology.

I can code a site in asp. I can construct a site in asp.net. It's kind of like the difference between building a tool shed with a small set of hand tools  and constructing a house where you have to deal with concrete, plumbing, electrical, climate systems, as well as wood.

Lead me not into temptation... I know the short cut, follow me.

Thanks, peeps. I will have to get my brain in gear I guess.
