    <p>Looking for suggestions regarding an upcoming project that I am involved in which revolves around adding certain functionality to an existing ASP.NET application running on IIS 6.0 programmed in VB.NET.</p> <p>To aid in future development the client wants the additional functionality to be as future proof as possible. Ideally I have said that I would like to push for a solution using ASP.NET MVC3, running off IIs 7.5 and .NET 4, written in C#. This solution would act as a seamless addition to the current web-portal appearing probably just as an extra tabbed page.</p> <p>But they will be completely separate web-apps. Which is crucial.</p> <p>The main problems I can foresee are firstly sharing session particulars between the asp.net web app and the new application. Particularly with regard to maintaining session state (and not having IIS timing out on one of the apps). Also, conjoining the two "apps" appears problematic in my head, although this may be far simpler than I fear.</p> <p>I'm asking for suggestions for these two problems if anyone has any ideas please say!</p> <p>So far I've come up with the following solutions be they terrible or not:</p> <p>1) Embed the new functionality into the existing codebase (not a great option). This would mean losing any potential future upgrade-ability and also means not following better OO conventions by utilising the MVC framework.</p> <p>2) Using an iFrame to link to the razor pages of a seperate MVC3 app (the one I'm favouring currently). Allows uses of all new technologies, however downside is sharing session data. Either through iFrame "attributes" (is this possible?) through persisting a session state to a db? (slow?) or even some kind of web service interaction between the applications to push/pull user/session data? </p> <p>Any advice/suggestions greatly appreciated!</p>
