Well, it would seem .net is the way to go. I am surprised that .net does not provide a persistence layer generator, this is very common in the J2EE world. JDeveloper (Oracle's IDE for Java) will generate a set of classes that mirror a database for example. You can extend the classes.

My experience is that to have a persistence layer is the way to go. I am still learning about the ADO but it seems like are really fair way to handle tables as it handles relationships etc.

Besides the fact that I have been yelling at my computer to the point I lost my voice since I am unable to get Visual Studio to install ( missing something it wants but it wont tell me what), .net seem like the best development platform currently available. I am not a MS supporter, but this stuff is just too well thought out. Way easier the J2EE which is complex beyond reasonable. C# is the best language I have ever seen and ASP.NET is basically the same functionally.

I am thinking that there will be a 100% productivity increase in .net code vs. asp. Based on that I can figure how much effort a full rewrite will take. The hardest part is going to be retraining as the development team is no OO at all. Probably need to bring in .net developers.
