Combine ASP.Net MVC with WebForms

Question

Would it be possible to create a MVC root application (Portal with masterpages and themes) and add a couple of WebForms based subprojects (we already have an existing WebForms application that we would like to integrate into the Portal)?

How would you centralize navigation (sitemaps, url routing)?
How would you share the masterpages?
How would you refer to resources (~ issues etc.)?

Solutions like the one described here seem somewhat outdated

Answer 1

Combining web forms with MVC is entirely possible. See this blog post by Scott Hanselman for an introduction.

• Sharing master pages: see this StackOverflow question
• routing: In ASP.Net 4.0, routing has been enabled for web forms page routes (scottgu's blog)

Answer 2

Great answer above. The other thing you could consider is migrating from ASP.NET to ASP.NET MVC, in which case this post might help you migrate the project files.
