    DO you work on ASP nowadays or you have replaced it with other programming language for your new Web Applications?

    Unfortunately I have to support a 7 year old classic asp/sql 2k intranet application in my day job.... this year we are upgrading to sql2k8 and maybe start porting some of the easier parts to .net

    ASP.NET is not technically a replacement for classic ASP, just like C# is not a replacement for C++. They are simply different evolutions of the same language (Alike when C became C++) and it will continue to be in use for as long as people wish to develop using the language. Old syntax languages tend to linger for many years after they become considered "old school", just look at perl.

    As far as I can control it, definately using ASP.NET for new Web Applications.

    Our company's code-base is so large that it would take years and years to remove all the classic ASP. We piece-by-piece replace the old stuff but for a long time will still have to build interoping classes from Classic ASP to COM to .NET
