I found a post from Dec 2001 asking if an existing ASP website can be
imported into VS.net.

Can this be done in 2003? in 2005? What is the recommended upgrade
path for existing ASP sites to ASPX?

I work in a c# shop with many legacy ASP systems. As far as I know,
there is no simple & easy way to migrate ASP to .NET Manual
rewrite/migration is the only option I am aware of.

I don't think the OP is asking about conversion (not directly). I think
that the OP is asking if a classic ASP web site can be imported into a
VS.NET project/solution.

I did this by creating a new ASP.NET project at the location of my existing
classic ASP web site. Nothing gets overridden, but the basic .NET files get
added to the location and then that location can be opened in VS.NET. Then
the existing pages were added to the project by showing all files and right
clicking the .asp files and choosing Include in project.

The actaul conversions, though, had to be done manally.
 
This is what I was looking for. I just figured this out myself. If
you include a directory in your new projecct, everything below it is
include. This at least gives me a better editing environment. I am
thinking of going to VS05 before doing the conversion.

Thanks
