I have a large web application that I have set up as both ASP.Net Web Forms and MVC. Some of the newer pages are MVC (.mvc) and some are Web Forms (.aspx). Since this is a business app and functions are being constantly added, it's hard for me to have the time to stop and replace existing functionality to convert it over. So I would like to do it piece by piece, control by control.
To do this, all I would need to be able to do is to replace certain controls with
<% Html.RenderPartial() %> or <% Html.HelperMethod %>
Is it possible to include namespaces or inherit the page from something to allow these methods to be used, while still maintaining the rest of the Page life cycle for other controls on the page?
