Convert from plain HTML to ASP.NET

[Frank]

Hi,

Just wondering how much pain is involved in taking an existing website
created with Dreamweaver (mostly just plain HTML + some javascript) then
converting each page to ASP.NET with Code-Behind for each page?

The website is a mockup in plain HTML so there is no database hooked up yet.
I'm assuming plain HTML elements like input text boxes can easily be
replaced using the Visual Studio Designer.

Thanks for any input,
Frank

If it's just HTML, there there is no code to put into codebehind.

If it's just HTML, there really is no reason to 'convert' it to anything
else, as it's just HTML.

What, ultimately, are you trying to accomplish with this 'conversion'?

If they are just client-side, static .html files, then there isn't anything
to convert. You are better off just making asp.net pages as you need them.
