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 have gone all over internet however still confuse in choosing MVC or WEBform pattern of ASP.NET Framework.
i have an application which is Developed on Webform model, does it really require to move it to MVC?
Webform is quiet stable, why should we go for MVC?
I mean what parameters we need to consider before moving webform model project to MVC?
any help or redirection will be highly appreciated.
Thanks!
As mentioned in the comments, there is nothing special that forces you to move into MVC.
If you’re going to start a new project consider using MVC. Here are few points which you could get benefited while using ASP.NET MVC :
Asp.Net MVC is a lightweight and follow MVC (Model, View, Controller) pattern based development model.
Asp.Net MVC has html helpers.
Asp.Net MVC does not support view state. Asp.Net MVC has route-based URLs means URLs are divided into controllers and
actions and moreover it is based on controller not on physical
file.
Asp.Net MVC follow customizable syntax (Razor as default)
In Asp.Net MVC, Views and logic are kept separately.
Asp.Net MVC has Layouts for consistent look and feels.
Asp.Net MVC has Partial Views for code re-usability.
Asp.Net MVC is lightweight, provide full control over markup and support many features that allow fast & agile development. Hence it
is best for developing interactive web application with latest web
standards.
Asp.Net Web MVC is Open Source.
There is a problem that I have two applications.
One is used ASP.NET MVC, while the other is used ASP.NET WebForm.
I wonder if there are some ways to integrate two applications.
You can say anything about the idea of the integration or show some links talk about this.
Thank!!!
PS: I do know that Asp.net Webform is out of time,so do not tell why not change the Webform to MVC.
You could have them both as hybrid application. To do this (Visual Studio 2013+):
Click New Project > Web Forms, In the window select template as Web Forms and select options on Web Forms and MVC.
Add your existing files for Web Forms and MVC in the same solution.
Now config your Global.asax for MVC and declare appropriate routes and bind them in code.
Optional: You could also Scaffold to have WebAPI in your solution.
You this link for details of implementation with sample project.
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 have an ASP.NET MVC view which contains some plain html. I wanna use this this same view in asp.net. How can i do this?? is this possible?
I am developing an application which contains both ASP.NET MVC and ASP.NET. So i wanna use the same usercontrol accross the application.
Can anyone provide some link/suggestions for the same.
An ASP.NET MVC View relies on HTML helpers which are not available in a normal ASP.NET application. Ideally an ASP.NET MVC view should be served by a controller. On the other hand an ASP.NET webform contains usercontrols and relies on postpack and viewdata which are not available in ASP.NET MVC.
You may take a look at this article about mixing ASP.NET MVC and classic ASP.NET.
So, what's the problem - just put your markup into 'ascx' user control or you could even use WebControl and use it across the app. It does work perfectly for both WebForms and MVC. Just make sure you are not trying to access to any incompatible features - in other words, use just a ASP.NET platform features which are not specific to WebForms or MVC. But since you mentioned it would be just a plain html without any postbacks, MVC helpers, etc. there should not be any issues.
