ASP.NET WebForms in an ASP.NET MVC 2 application

Question

Is it possible to call normal ASPX pages with their normal life-cycle in an ASP.NET MVC 2 application? What about web controls and ajax.net toolkit?

Thank you!

You don't need to do anything. Simply create your MVC application and add a new web forms page. Thats it.

Well, there is a Nuget package that can do it for you. See here: http://nuget.org/List/Packages/AddMvc3ToWebForms – rick schott Sep 28 '11 at 23:44
