ASP.Net pages in an .asp web site

[kinglywarrior]

We have an Intranet site (on a Win 2003 Server with IIS 6) that is an .asp site. We now want to begin to include some pages that use Asp.Net, and have heard these can work side by side. How does one go about this? Like, when you go to create the asp.net pages are they in their own separate pages and then you deploy them into the site's folders, or do you need a whole separate web site, or what?

Thanks so much,
Ray

usually IIS runs a program or another (like PHP, asp...) depending on the extension of the file. therefore if the file is asp it would use plain asp if it is aspx it would use asp.net.

therefore you might be able to use the same directory. also take note that asp.net uses a dll for the pages that contain code written in the codebehind files (default behavior for vsnet) which has to be included in the web site's folder.
