Mohammed,
That is a typical response from a dev team but unfortunately it's not the
correct and complete fix. It IS possible to screw up configuration in
.NET and have your web application still be SQL injectable, or XSS'able.
The true fix has to come from strong input validation and/or escaping
malicious characters and/or using stored proc's.
If they push back on these suggestions and believe that porting to .NET is
sufficient, put the right suggestion in the final report convince them of
the fact they they NEED regression testing after they port. And once
regression testing comes around just blow the doors off the app again
through the use of sql injection. This way you build from credibility,
make a very strong point, and make more $$$ from the regression testing.

Jas
