Migrating ASP.NET 1.x sites to ASP.NET 2.0

One of the questions we got during the Q&A of the Ottawa VS Launch yesterday was around problems in migrating ASP.NET applications from 2002/2003 to 2005.

The Web Platform Team has put together a nice step-by-step guide that covers some best practices to ensure a successful migration effort which should take you “the better part of a day” according to them. http://msdn.microsoft.com/asp.net/default.aspx?pull=/library/en-us/dnaspp/html/webprojectsvs05.asp

    I didn't dig into the conversion too much yet (my company is very conservative and we celebrated migration to 1.1 very recently) but couldn't notice that majority of 1.1-2.0 migration topics are around Web Projects. We create our ASP.NET applications as class libraries which adds slight overhead but saves much more as we avoid Web Project hell.
    Will this come back to us on migration stage or the lack of non-Web Project topics points on the fact that there will be no problems whatsoever?
