Classic ASP
I have recently migrated a 3.7 site to 4.2.1733 and I have several classic asp controls that I need to use in the new site. Does anyone know how to enable asp compatibility in Sitefinity 4? Is there a page that everything inherits from like cmsentrypoint.aspx in 3.7?
I have received a reply from tech support. Apparently the ability to set the aspcompat attribute of the page directive is not currently possible in Sitefinity 4.3. Has anyone found a way around this? It is simply not possible for us to rewrite all of our classic asp controls.
I have tried to add a code behind to the pages that we need aspcompatibility. This included the below code.
However, as many people have stated before, setting this attribute in a codebehind does nothing for the page. The only way to set this is on the aspx page in the @Page directive aspcompat=true. This however is not possible since the aspx page is generated on the fly by sitefinity. Any ideas on how to get this to work?
public ClassicASPBasePage : System.Web.UI.Page
protected override void OnLoad(EventArgs e)
base.OnLoad(e);
this.AspCompatMode = true;
Hi Aaron,

Hello Stuart Radlett,
Sitefinity 4 does not support classic asp controls and there are no plans for supporting such controls in near future. We are sorry for the caused problems.
