We have an old web app written in classic ASP. We don't have the resources to rewrite the app.
I know that asp and aspx pages can coexist in the same ASP.NET web app, but it appears as those you cannot share Application and probably Session variables across these two groups of page extension types.
I was hoping to do new development in ASP.NET and to in theory, convert the Classic ASP pages over as we go.
Is there a way to share IIS variables across these two types of web pages (aside from passing information using the query string and forms fields)?

NET class that creates a request containing the ASP Session cookie and sends it to an ASP page to retrieve the ASP Session variable and an ASP page that authenticates the request and returns the Session variable, you can share Session state between ASP.NET and ASP apps.
ASP or also popularly known as Classic ASP developed by Microsoft is first Server-side scripting engine which is used for dynamic generation of web pages. ASP.NET, on the other hand, is a server-side web framework, open-source, which is designed for the generation of dynamic web pages.
ASP runs on IIS. ASPX runs on . Net framework. ASP uses VBScript for its code.
Classic ASP is a server-side scripting environment that you can use to create and run dynamic web applications. With ASP, you can combine HTML pages, script commands, and COM components to create interactive web pages that are easy to develop and modify.
There is no straigthforwad solution for sharing session variables between classic ASP and ASP.NET. I would recommend you to persist sessions into a database, like it is described in this Microsoft Article. This way both ASP and ASP.NET can access session variables.

Not a direct way. You could consider using a shared database backend for your session state.
