I'm looking for someone who could help me merge an ASP.net (Web Forms) and an MVC application into one Solution in Visual Studio. I would also need help pulling some data through that MVC application. If anyone could help I would find a way to pay them first for a few hours of time. I'm thinking 2 or 3 hours. I have exhausted all of my contacts. The guys I know only use Web Forms. I have an existing SQL Server 2008 as a DB. We could work remotely. If anyone is interested, please let me know.

I know it's not the premiere choice of platform for this forum, but I could really use some help. Mostly with merging the two projects and pulling some related data through on the MVC (web facing) portion of the site. I do have a pluralsight subscription, but it may take me a long time to get it done. I know a lot, but not enough. lol

MVC (model view controller) is a platform independent application design pattern. You could write it in Visual Basic (or any other language) if you wanted. Are you switching to C# or something?

I'm writing it in C# using Visual Studio. The backend was created first using Web Forms. The front end is being developed on the same machine connecting to the same SQL DB. My problem is that I did not create them in the same solution and now I'm in Global.asax & Web.config hell. I will eventually figure it all out, but If anyone has the ability to rapidly help me I would be eager to work with them and pay them for their time.

I'm very concerned about being able to run the MVC portion in the root directory with a sub directory running the CMS (web forms). I'm trying to write the code so that it's not tightly coupled and can be unit tested. So I can't just breeze through it hacking it together.

confused, do you want the final project to be mvc or webforms? and if mvc, what version and which rendering engine?

The final project has an admin section(Web forms - C#) that uses the benefits of web forms. It's quick to design and load times and responsiveness are not issues even with complex forms and editable grids etc.. because it's only for admin users.
Then we have a front end that is running on MVC4 using C#. It uses the Zurb Foundation Framework 4 and runs off of SQL DB Views as it is primarily read only aside from the subscription and recipe rating system. Otherwise I have created views and treating them as tables using Entity Framework. So my models mirror those views. By using views I get things like Ingredient Name real easy instead of querying the table and getting Ingredient ID. Just makes sense, plus it's more secure all together. What do you think? I'm executing, but hitting a lot of speed bumps, most because in MVC you gotta show your work, you can't hack it together like a web forms app. But it's the right way. MY MAJOR ISSUE RIGHT NOW. Is that I didn't start an MVC Project and build a web forms project inside of it. I built them separate because I have no ability to think ahead. lol Now I'm trying to get them put together and running on 1 domain. Preferably the MVC would be in the route directory then a sub directory would house the Web forms app. Shouldn't be a problem... RIght...
