webforms parallel mvc

Vote:
 

I'm currently working with a customer that has a quite large episerver cms 6 r2 site up and running with about 60 different custommade pagetypes.

The customer want to upgrade this site to episerver 7 and also develop new functionality and pagetypes with the mvc pattern that episerver 7 supports.

It's quite a large job to rewrite all older pagetypes from webforms to mvc , so our question is if it is possible to run parallel webform and mvc pattern on a same episerver installation/site?

Anyone with similiar problems from their episerver upgrade projects?

Yes you can run MVC and WebForms in parallell. 

However you cannot mix Mvc and webform templates on the same request. For example a page rendered through a MVC controller/View cannot render a block that only has a UserControl template. So to be able to use a block both on a webform page and a MVC page you need to have both MVC and WebForms renderers for the block (the same goes for partial renderers for pages).
