We currently have a web site using around 20 Classic ASP pages. I’m looking to migrate the ASP pages to ASP.NET MVC as I think this would be a good platform since we have been using Microsoft products for about 10 years. I am not familiar with ASP.NET so this is going to be a pretty huge undertaking for me. I’ve been tasked to come up with the number of hours and approximate costs to do this conversion.

I have a couple of questions; 1) In educating myself with ASP.NET, I’m reading that most bloggers etc. are using C#. I was hoping to use my VB skills but know I’m thinking it might make sense to use C#. (only because everyone seems to be doing so. ) Do you agree? 2) What’s the best way to figure out how to size this beast? Learn ASP.NET MVC enough to figure it out myself or hire someone to do it for me. I’m thinking hiring someone. 3) Lastly, do you agree that ASP.NET MVC would be the best choice for us?

Thank you for your time.
