ASP.NET WebForms in an ASP.NET MVC 2 application - asp.net

Is it possible to call normal ASPX pages with their normal life-cycle in an ASP.NET MVC 2 application? What about web controls and ajax.net toolkit?
Thank you!

You don't need to do anything. Simply create your MVC application and add a new web forms page. Thats it.

Yes.

Integrating ASP.NET MVC 3 into existing upgraded ASP.NET 4 Web Forms applications
I recommend creating a WebForms project and using this NuGet package:
AddMvc3ToWebForms

Concern to work with ASP.net Core 2.1 MVC with legacy application

I am working on a new module into an old legacy ASP.net webForms project.
Currently, I do not have access to the code. The client wants us to make a stand-alone application, for now, once they're happy, they will merge the module into their existing ASP.net web forms application.
I am planning to make this module in asp.net core 2.1 MVC using Entity framework.
Two queries :
1) Would the new ASP.net core MVC 2.1 module be compatible with old ASP.net webforms web app. made in older.Net Framework?
2) Is it feasible to keep the new module made in ASP.net core MVC with the existing modules made in ASP.net Webforms?

From a codebase persective, MVC and Webforms are completely different. You can't integrate them into one project. Possibly two projects in one solution
Is it feasible to keep the new module made in ASP.net core MVC with the existing modules made in ASP.net Webforms?
Yes. They would need to be published through different web applications. This could be transparent to the user because all the activity is through URL's

Is ASP.NET AJAX 4.0 a part of ASP.NET 4.0?

Is ASP.NET AJAX 4.0 a part of ASP.NET 4.0? E.g., by using ASP.NET Web Forms 4.0 do I automatically have ASP.NET AJAX 4.0?
That's it. Starting with ASP.NET 3.5, ASP.NET AJAX is part of ASP.NET.
You only need the appropiate Web.config sections so script handlers and related types will be loaded and ASP.NET AJAX will be available for you!

Can ASP.NET MVC 3 run inside a ASP.NET 3.5 web site?

I would like to know if it is at all possible to get an MVC3 solution wrapped in a CWAB (Composite Web Application Block) solution built in 3.5?
I'm aware that in IIS, 2.0/3.5 and 4.0 sites can run next to each other (but in different application pools) but because of the CWAB layer I do not have this luxury. I got MVC2 running successfully before but MVC2 is on the 2.0 runtime if what I've read is true.
I would really like to use Razor as well so going back to MVC2 in this scenario is not really an option.
It should be possible. Just set your application pool runtime to 4.0 instead of 2.0.
.NET 4.0 runtime will be able to handle .NET 3.5 assemblies.
Razor requires features in .NET 4.0. However Tom Clarkson has a post called ASP.NET MVC 3 Razor View in SharePoint that talks about a (not-so-pretty) work-around. Basically, generate the view code from the cshtml files in .NET 4 and you can use them in .NET 3.5 (with a modified RazorEngine).
I'm encountering the same issue. The way I'm going to handle it is to write a WCF "front end" to SharePoint (.Net 3.5) and this will allow me to write the MVC app using MVC 3.

The latest technology in ASP.NET

I am an ASP.NET developer. What is the latest technology in ASP.NET and also the documentation about it?
For MVC it is ASP.NET MVC 2 and for web forms it is ASP.NET 4.0.
I notice MVC has been suggested, but dont forget to checkout Silverlight as well for delivering rich interactive application over the web.
As the previous answers state, MVC is the new thing.
This means that their are now 2 main forms of ASP.NET development: WebForms and MVC
In WebForms, there are only a handful of new things (in VS2010), with support for routing (friendly URLs) the most notable.
That would be ASP.NET 4.0 and ASP.NET MVC 2.0. Documentation? Like ALWAYS, in MSDN.

Is MVC Contrib Grid part of Asp.Net MVC 2.0?

Is it part of Asp.Net MVC 2.0. If not then does Asp.Net MVC 2.0 ship with in built GridView support?
You could use a jQuery grid with MVC .
Is it part of Asp.Net MVC 2.0.
No. MvcContrib grid is not a part of MVC 2.
If not then does Asp.Net 2.0 ship with
in built GridView support?
Yes. The Asp.Net Gridview was introduced with .Net Framework 2.0
ASP.NET MVC 2 does not have a built in GridView helper. But there are several that can be used, such as the Telerik open source mvc controls, the MvcContrib, and several jQuery options (such as jqgrid). Or you could just render the grid yourself. Or build your own helper.
