Hello,

Will ASP and ASP.NET work in my hosting space if I enable ASP.NET?

Or, should leave it off? I want to activate .NET to use a script I bought, but would not want to mess up my store which runs all in ASP

Thanks,

They should both run fine.

If I'm not mistaken, any page with .asp extension is recognized as ASP, but pages with .aspx (and their code behinds) will be recognized as .net and processed as such.

So, you should be able to run both, just be careful that the extension matches the appropriate language.

We wouldn't want to needlessly make things more complicated, right? I mean, if you can, make sure to be simple, and simplify things, so that it doesn't take 10, or 20 words to do that which should only take 2, got it? good, now go forth and spread the good words.

You certainly can run ASP and ASP.NET on the same server.

A couple of things to bear in mind:

You can't pass session data between ASP and ASP.NET (Actually, you can but it's a massive pain).

As someone else mentioned, remember that ASP uses .ASP extensions, and ASP.NET uses .ASPX extensions, when you view pages in the browser.

They'll run side by side.
