ASP for New site

how far this will go?

[chikung]

I would like to use asp for my new site. Currently I am not into .net and I don't have time to update and build .net. If I make my site in ASP, do I haveto convert it in .net (aspx)in the near future? If it is so,I have to re-register all the pages.

No you should not have to convert it. I suspect that Microsoft will support ASP for at least the next 7 years. You'll need to keep your ap on a machine that will process asp pages that's all.

Conversion from asp to .net is normally not to hard.
But to keep it simple, its important that you keep your application organised:

-Try to work with a relational database and make use of stored procedures and or views
-Make use of function libraries, especially in case of database actions
-Use includes as much as possible

And to be honest, the step from classic asp (vbscript) to ASP.NET is not very hard. We just ran a small project and thought it would be fun to to it in .NET (client was only interested in the visual part of the project). I must say that we did build in the same time, but learned a lot and made benefit of a lot of cool .NET functionality like datagrids,encryption classes,paging systems, etc. So i really would advise you to check some .net stuff i.e. w3schools who have some really nice tuts and samples.
