Running asp.net from asp...

Hi All

Does anyone know how I can run a asp.net / vb.net compiled code from classic asp?

basically I need to use some of the .net functionality for image handling from asp...

any ideas?

Cheers
:D

You can't run ASP.NET from ASP per se, however you could run .NET from ASP. You can build a .NET assembly and make it visible to COM then consume it from ASP as you would any other COM component.

Hi Peter

Appreciate it that is what I assumed just never done it so I thought I would just confirm. So you would just compile a release then drag it/start it in com?

excellent.

You have to compile the assembly with the option for registering for COM interop. This is easy in VS.NET, it's just a checkbox in the project options. If you manually compile or (more importantly) after you've built it and copy it to another machine you have to run the RegAsm.exe that does the registration. I've not played with this to a great extent so I don't know the details of the process or what you need in addition to the assembly.
