Can Angular be used with classic asp.net?

I am working on a classic asp.net application. Can you tell me if I will be able to use Angular with classic Asp.net? Or is it only for MVC?

A couple of pointers

There is ASP Classic and ASP.Net. Classic ASP.Net is not really a term.

Secondly, Angular is a client side scripting environment (server too if you are using Node.js - but that excludes ASP.Net) whereas ASP is a server side scripting environment.

Upshot: the two don't know anything about each other. When Angular talks to a server it has no idea what the scripting environment is - and it does not care - it asks for data using standard REST calls and the server responds (usually with JSON data).

As long as a server side script can handle a REST call (or a simple POST) and can return data in the required format Angular will work with it.

Thank you Julian. I will award you the points for this question. Can you do me one special favor and give me one or two hyperlinks that show how to use Angurlar with asp.net web forms?

I don't have any specific examples other than what google will display on a simple search.

There are many examples out there. I don't use Angular with .Net in that way. I build the interface in Angular and then send and receive data from .Net web services.
