Post a form from asp to asp.Net
- by Atomiton
I have a classic asp application. I want to post a contest form from that page to an Asp.Net form. The reason is that I want to use a lot of logic i have built into an Asp.Net page for validation before entering into the database and I don't know asp very well. Not to mention asp.Net being more secure.
What's the best way to accomplish this goal? My thoughts are as follows:
My asp Page:
<html>
<body>
<form action="/Contests/entry.aspx" method="post">
Name: <input type="text" name="fname" size="20" />
Last Name: <input type="text" name="lname" size="20" />
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
aspx page is running in a Virtual Directory and would handle anything posted to it.
Is this possible, or does aspx prevent this kind of thing?
I ( preferably ) don't want to create the form in aspx as my colleague wants to have control of the page and build the html himself and I don't want the hassle of constantly changing it.
Are there caveats I need to consider?
What roadblocks will I run into?
How do I access the Posted Form Values? Request.Form?
