I'm using visual studio 2008 for a classic asp application. Will I be able to upgrade to visual studio 2010?

A:
Yes, classic ASP can be developed just fine in VS2010 as it does in VS2008 SP1.

@Eduardo: I'm using VS2010 right now editing an existing ASP classic website, works fine. So unless MS do something really mental and pull ASP support out of VS2010 before RTM then I think my statement is fairly sound without a source of reference.

Don't be mad, just telling "I'm using it" is fine for me, but was not stated in the answer.

I've found this msdn page
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms241740.aspx
it says:
Although the primary focus of Web debugging in Visual Studio 2010 is ASP.NET, you can also debug legacy ASP Web applications.
ASP Web applications consist of scripts, which run on the client in .htm files and on the server in .asp files; the Global.asa file; and .cdf files. Scripts can be in VBScript, JScript, or a mix of VBScript and JScript. They may also be mixed with HTML code and COM objects. You can debug ASP Web applications containing all of these elements.
Right now I'm working on classic asp pages with visual studio 2008 an everything works fine, I can even debug classic asp...
Still couldn't try it with vs 2010, but the page above gives me some hope...

I updated my project from VS2008 to VS2010 and everything has been going alright.
In order to get debugging to work with javascript in a script block I have to add a debugger; statement to get it to break. If you have the javascript in a seperate file you can debug with just a break point. The Classic asp will still debug if I attach to the w3wp process.
The javascript intellisense has been working better for me in VS2010 than in VS2008. In VS2008 I had issues with it crashing when I stopped debugging classic ASP. In VS2010 I don't have that problem any more.
Overall I'd say VS2010 does classic ASP development better than VS2008.

Well I am wondering how to import or migrate a Classic ASP site into a new Visual Studio solution when no project exists prior.
