We had a relatively large app developed with CCS using classic ASP as the base language, and felt that it needed to expand in scope and that ASP was not going to be suitable for future work. After much discussion about whether we should go with php or .net, and what kind of dbm to choose, we settled on php and mySql. Why is irrelevant.
I had created a fairly extensive custom library of classes and routines in (server-side) jscript and vbscript for the app, and this was going to have to be be ported manually. I regenerated a new version of the project in CCS as PHP and a few minutes later had a complete new site as php. I spent the next the next 2 or 3 days porting the ASP specific code, mainly in *_events.asp files (and the custom support libraries) over to php, which was fairly straightforward and had the total conversion done in 4 days. The database was switched to mySql, and this was also mainly easy, with only a handful of code updates needed.
All up, the entire process was quick, and avoided a total re-write from the ground up.
Fantastic. It's one of the reasons I went with CCS in the first place, and that decision was worth it.
I'm not saying it was without hitches, there were quirks galore, but it was far far better than starting over...
