Mix Coldfusion and ASP.NET pages

In a website built with coldfusion 5, we want to add some new pages built
with ASP.NET. AFAIK, it should be no problem mixing .CFM and .ASPX pages
within the same site, because IIS loads a different handler for each page.
Is this correct? Does anyone have experience with this type of problem?

Thanks for any info
Urs

You are correct, it shouldn't be a problem.
The only difficulty you're likely to have is passing data between the two
different systems.

Thanks Steve. Regarding passing data, do you know some "best practise" to
share data (especially session data)?

The safest way would be to store any shared data in a database that both
can access. You don't want to reply upon QueryStrings or even hidden inputs
as that is something that the end user (malicious or otherwise) can tamper
with.

Thanks Brock. I'm positively surprised how fast I get an answer here ;-)

In addition to the database suggestion, you can also pass data via
querystring, hidden fields, cookies, etc.
