I'm building a ASP.Net MVC site, which has some small islands of non MVC code. Is this best called ASP.Net Classic, or Legacy ASP.Net?
Is there some better name two distinguish the two?

A:
ASP.NET WebForms is the full name of what we would used to have considered ASP.NET (WebForms and MVC both sit on top of the ASP.NET engine).
Of course, I can't see your code so I'm not sure if it is WebForms code that you're using.

Not necessarily - MVC has its advantages and disadvantages over WebForms. Neither should be seen as fundamentally superior (despite the apparently over-excitement throughout the developer community).

It is a relative comparison only. I still like ASP.NET, just as I still like tinkering with clunky vintage cars to see if I can get them to work.

A:
ASP.NET WebForms was there before MVC came out. I think WebForms is pretty much descriptive, even more so when you mention ASP.NET MVC along with it.
