post to asp.net from from classic asp page

Question

I need to emulate a login where I pass the username and password to the asp.net page from classic asp page.
Did an exhausted search on this propble could not find good technique. Is http post to the asp.net from classic asp the right approch. If yes code snippet would be helpful.

What other techniques can we use to accomplish this task?

Answer 2

Any standard HTTP POST will work just fine. In the .aspx page that handles the POST it will just need to check Request.Form for the key/value pairs from the classic form's POST.

If you don't control the .aspx page or can't change its code, then you can try naming the form elements in the classic ASP form the same as the ones in the .NET login form that it's emulating. I haven't tried that personally, but it's worth a shot.
