+# Guide for Asp.Net applications
+
+## Intro
+
+The following guide details how to remove Application Insights from an ASP.NET web app and how to set up the OpenTelemetry SDK.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- An ASP.NET web application already instrumented with Application Insights
+- A actively supported version of .NET (link)
+
+## Steps to Migrate
+
+### Step 1: Remove Application Insights SDK
+
+When you first added ApplicationInsights to your project, the SDK would have added a config file and made some edits to the web.config.
+If using Nuget tools to remove the Application Insights, some of this will be cleaned up. 
+If you're manually removing the package reference from your csproj, you'll need to manually cleanup these artifacts.
+
+- Remove any Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.* packages from you csproj and packages.config.
+- Delete the ApplicationInsights.config file.
+- Clean up your application's Web.Config file.
+
+    The following sections would have been automatically added to your web.config when you first added ApplicationInsights to your project. References to the `TelemetryCorrelationHttpModule` and the `ApplicationInsightsWebTracking` should be removed.
+
+    ```xml
+    <configuration>
+      <system.web>
+        <httpModules>
+          <add name="TelemetryCorrelationHttpModule" type="Microsoft.AspNet.TelemetryCorrelation.TelemetryCorrelationHttpModule, Microsoft.AspNet.TelemetryCorrelation" />
+          <add name="ApplicationInsightsWebTracking" type="Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.Web.ApplicationInsightsHttpModule, Microsoft.AI.Web" />
+        </httpModules>
+      </system.web>
+      <system.webServer>
+        <modules>
+          <remove name="TelemetryCorrelationHttpModule" />
+          <add name="TelemetryCorrelationHttpModule" type="Microsoft.AspNet.TelemetryCorrelation.TelemetryCorrelationHttpModule, Microsoft.AspNet.TelemetryCorrelation" preCondition="managedHandler" />
+          <remove name="ApplicationInsightsWebTracking" />
+          <add name="ApplicationInsightsWebTracking" type="Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.Web.ApplicationInsightsHttpModule, Microsoft.AI.Web" preCondition="managedHandler" />
+        </modules>
+      </system.webServer>
+    </configuration>
+    ```
+
+### Step 1: Install the OpenTelemetry SDK and Enable at Application Startup
+
+The OpenTelemery SDK must be configured at application startup. This is typically done in the Global.asax.cs.
+OpenTelemetry has a concept of three signals; Traces (Requests and Dependencies), Metrics, and Logs.
+Each of these signals will need to be configured as part of your application startup.
+
+#### Global.asax.cs
+
+TODO: NEED A SAMPLE THAT INCLUDES LOGGING.
+
+```csharp
+using OpenTelemetry;
+using OpenTelemetry.Metrics;
+using OpenTelemetry.Trace;
+
+public class MvcApplication : System.Web.HttpApplication
+{
+    private TracerProvider? tracerProvider;
+    private MeterProvider? meterProvider;
+
+    protected void Application_Start()
+    {
+        this.tracerProvider = Sdk.CreateTracerProviderBuilder()
+            .Build();
+
+        this.meterProvider = Sdk.CreateMeterProviderBuilder()
+            .Build();
+    }
+
+    protected void Application_End()
+    {
+        this.tracerProvider?.Dispose();
+        this.meterProvider?.Dispose();
+    }
+}
+```
+
+For more examples, see the following guides:
+- OpenTelemetry SDK's getting started guide: https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-dotnet/tree/main/src/OpenTelemetry
+- ASP.NET example project: https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-dotnet-contrib/blob/main/examples/AspNet/Global.asax.cs
+
+### Step 1: Configure Instrumentation Libraries.
+
+Instrumentation libraries can be added to your project to auto collect telemetry about specific components or dependencies.
+
+- To collect telemetry for incoming requests, you should add the [OpenTelemetry.Instrumentation.AspNet](https://www.nuget.org/packages/OpenTelemetry.Instrumentation.AspNet) library to your application.
+This includes adding a new reference to your Web.config and adding the Instrumentation to your OpenTelemetry SDK configuration.
+A getting started guide is available here: https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-dotnet-contrib/tree/main/src/OpenTelemetry.Instrumentation.AspNet
+
+- To collect telemetry for outbound http dependencies, you should add the [OpenTelemetry.Instrumentation.Http](https://www.nuget.org/packages/OpenTelemetry.Instrumentation.Http) library to your application.
+A getting started guide is available here: https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-dotnet/tree/main/src/OpenTelemetry.Instrumentation.Http
+
+### Step 1: Configure the Azure Monitor Exporter 
+
+To send your telemetry to Application Insights, the Azure Monitor Exporter must be added to the configuration of all three signals.
