I have an existing ASP.NET WebForms 3.0 application that works just fine. I upgraded it to ASP.NET 4 and it still works great, but now I want to add some ASP.NET MVC pages to it. I don't want to rewrite the application.
Any suggestions? Can I mix them? How to work it? Any tutorials for me?
Take a look at Scott Hanselman's blog article on this very topic:
Integrating ASP.NET MVC 3 into existing upgraded ASP.NET 4 Web Forms applications
You have to mention this line of code in the Global.asax file in the MVC application.
routes.IgnoreRoute("{WebPage}.aspx/{*pathInfo}");
This disables the MVC routing for the files of extension .aspx

Is it possible or is it suitable to use umbraco 7.x for webform projects?
I'm a beginner in ASP.NET MVC and I'm learning about it, now.
Now I get a website project that I should do it immediately.
I just can do project with ASP.NET Webform, but I'll immigrate from Webform to MVC in the future.I want to have less problems when I decide to immigrate to MVC.Then I want to use Umbraco 7.x for my project in order to my plan.
Now, my question:
Is it possible or is it suitable to use umbraco 7.x for webform projects?
Short answer is yes, you can mix MVC and Webforms within an Umbraco 7 project. The rendering engine is determined by the template.
If an MVC template is found then it will use MVC as the rendering engine, otherwise it will look for a .master template (in the masterpages folder) and if it finds one it will use Webforms
I want to one help
I have 1 Webform application which is in the Asp.Net and it is working fine and now I want to develop new functionality in Asp.Net MVC and merge in existing application.
So please provide any tutorial or any link which provide information for merging MVC functionality in existing Asp.Net application.
Basically I need to develop application which working with both Asp.net webform functionality and also MVC functionality.
Combining web forms with MVC is entirely possible. See this blog post by Scott Hanselman for an introduction.

routing: In ASP.Net 4.0, routing has been enabled for web forms page routes (scottgu's blog)
My project is a web application project in asp.net 4.0. I've taken the steps to be able to add razor '.cshtml' pages. Can I also add mvc controllers for those files or for '.aspx' pages somehow?
Yes, you should be able to do that. Refer to following article ( http://www.hanselman.com/blog/IntegratingASPNETMVC3IntoExistingUpgradedASPNET4WebFormsApplications.aspx)
Yes MVC and WebForms can co-exist.
A good overview is here, though not written for MVC 3 the concepts should be the same.
I need to add an "Admin" Area to an ASP.NET MVC project, and I need it to use ASP.NET Web Forms, not MVC.
Can ASP.NET Web Forms be used in an ASP.NET MVC application?
I have something similar in an MVC project because we had to use some 3rd party controls on a page. So what we did was this:
In the RegisterRoutes in global.asax.cs add:
routes.IgnoreRoute("WebForms/*/{resource}.aspx/{*pathInfo}");
And add your webforms stuff to the WebForms directory (obviously you can change that to whatever you need, so long as it doesn't clash with any of your MVC routes.
I think that was about it. Other than being a really horrible kludge.
It is possible to mix ASP.NET WebForms and MVC in the same project. Scott Hanselman had a post about this back in 2008:
Plug-In Hybrids: ASP.NET WebForms and ASP.MVC and ASP.NET Dynamic Data Side By Side
I'm developing a web application for a company which I work for. My team started working on the app few months ago and the decision was to build it with ASP.NET WebForms. Now we've quite a lot of the code developed and we're wondering if ASP.NET WebForms was a good choice. Maybe we should migrate. Ok, but what's the first step? We don't want to rewrite everything from scratch. We'd like to add a new stuff in MVC and rewrite the old part in the future (gradually). Is it possible to add somehow ASP.NET MVC application to current WebForms one? Can they live together?
Asp.net webforms and MVC can live happily together. You will add some includes and directores and add a route which will cause your webforms pages to be ignored. All explained here:
http://www.packtpub.com/article/mixing-asp.net-webforms-and-asp.net-mvc
Mixing MVC with webforms is not that all hard. Basically, you want to ignore any exisiting .aspx routes in your global.asax, and then add routes for new pages that you want to build using MVC.
See this article for more details.
