Then he's using ASP.NET, not ASP (they are both VERY different).  The 
DLL's should be usable, but the pages may have to be recoded in C#. 
However, I do think the mono team is going to come out with a VB 
implementation for their ASP.NET system soon, so you could just wait for 
that.

The only real issue will be Database access, because it was probably 
written to SQL Server while you will probably want to use MySQL or 
preferably PostgreSQL.
