How do I use ASP.NET pages in an ASP.NET MVC application?

Question

I have a site written in C# using the ASP.NET MVC 2 frameworkthat unfortunately requires a few pages to work on Webforms (for a ReportViewer Control that needs Viewstate.

I've created a folder called Reports, converted it to a Web Application and added a page to the folder called ReportViewer.aspx (the system correctly added aspx.cs file and aspx.designer files).

I also created a class called BasePage.cs which inherits from System.Web.UI.Page and made my ReportViewer.aspx.cs inherit it.

When I try to browse this page, I get the following error:

Parser Error Message: Could not load type AzureWatch.ControlPanel.Web.Reports.ReportViewer.

Source Error:

Line 1: <%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="ReportViewer.aspx.cs" Inherits="AzureWatch.ControlPanel.Web.Reports.ReportViewer"

How do I get ASP.NET aspx pages to show up in an ASP.NET MVC site correctly?

Have your created a separate web.config file for "Reports" web application? — ShahidAzim

Are you certain AzureWatch.ControlPanel.Web.Reports.ReportViewer is loadable by your Web Form? — bzlm

OK, this is a stupid user error... I apologize for even starting the question :( I was in 'Release' mode which is not working correctly from the VS2010 environment. As soon as I switched to Debug mode, everything started functioning. Thanks for help! — Igorek

You can just use .aspx pages by adding them to your MVC app - MVC is a framework over ASP.NET anyhow, so there is nothing to stop you from adding a .aspx page except your own guilt :)
