Debug an ASP Project with Visual Studio .NET and Transfer Classic ASp Session to Asp.net session

Most of the developers prefer Asp.Net as everybody is ease at using the latest technology and a lot of features that it offers over Asp 3.0.. Yet we still have many many projects built in asp 3.0, transferring them to Asp.net is sometimes a huge task so many organizations prefer to keep their code in Asp. The developers are thus faced with the problem of again coming back to response.write statements to debug the code.. I was also faced with a similar problem about a year back. Like any other debugger lover, i tried to find a suitable environment for development in which i can debug the asp code.. but all were either too complex to understand or to work with easily..
After looking into it a bit, i found two solutions. One for easing the developers life on debugging on existing asp and other for those who want to convert their application to Asp.net but one by one.

The first one can be found at http://www.devx.com/tips/Tip/18204. by Timm Rebitzki. I would say my thank to him as it saved me from a lot of trouble

With regard to the second part the only problem is that you how do you convert Asp Session to asp.net like either on login.. I found this good technique used here
