Migrate exisiting ASP.Net application in WCSF

First, like pbolduc says, make sure you understand why you want to migrate and what you will get out of it. Once you make the decision, you can do what is posted above (which should work) and/or refer to some blog posts I did a long, long time ago on hacking an exisiting web site to be WCSF friendly: Using the WCSF with existing web site projects and Using the WCSF with an existing Web Application Project. I wrote those posts after working with a big customer who wanted to migrate (over a couple of years) a web site with over 10,000 distinct web pages to WCSF. After the hacking, the site worked as expected, and pages could be migrated to use WCSF one by one. These articles are waaaay out of date. However, the concepts should still apply, even if the details are different. You may need to create a new WCSF app and pull out WinDiff and look at what you have and what WCSF puts in config, solution files, project files, etc. Good luck, Michael Puleio -- patterns & practices http://blogs.msdn.com/mpuleio
