Serving legacy ASP.NET Websites

[0xF1o]

Is it possible to run websites that currently work on IIS 7.5 or mono/xsp4 on dnx/kestrel.
From what i understand it could be as easy as having the right {"commands":{ ? }} in Project.json.

I want to keep my existing workflow (using Visual Studio 2013 Community) for now but want to test the websites with different servers/databases (docker makes that easy...).

Can someone please put me on the right track?

Thanks!

There is no support for ASP.NET 4.x projects (e.g. MVC 5.x and earlier, Web API 2.x and earlier, Web Forms) on DNX. Is that what you're asking for?

Yes... i'm trying to get away without migrating to VS2015... looks like this wont happen

A bit confusing... ASP.NET 5 not supporting ASP.NET MVC 5 :)

Thanks!

Yeah the version numbers are a bit confusing, sorry about that!

Fortunately there's lots of choice these days for editors: VS2015 (Windows only, fully featured), or Visual Studio Code (Windows, Mac, Linux), or OmniSharp (lots of platforms, lots of editors) all serve as terrific experiences for working on ASP.NET 5 applications.
