Scott Hanselman has a good guide on integrating MVC with a Web Form App, it should take you through the steps, here it is in a nutshell:
Run the Upgrade Wizard (open the Visual Studio2008 Web Application
in Visual Studio 2010)
Create a default ASP.NET MVC application for reference (you'll throw it away later)
Use a differencing tool like Beyond Compare to integrate the new web.config entries from the ASP.NET MVC sections into the upgraded ASP.NET WebForms application

ASP.net MVC Login Page Theme/Customisation

I am using ASP.net mvc to create a login page. However, I would like to know if there are any ASP.net MVC login templates or themes I can implement. I am going for a minimal theme. So something clean. I would appreciate if you could direct me to any sites as I cannot find any help on google.
If you're new to css and html design in general... I would point you toward using bootstrap by twitter. Here is a sample login form
Visual Studio comes with templates, when creating an MVC application select the internet application template.
Here is the description:
A default ASP.NET MVC 4 project with an account controller that uses
forms authentication.
You can tweak it to meet your needs.

SinglePageApplication - match sample videos from 2012 Fall update

I am trying to recreate the ASP.NET Single Page application as demonstrated by Steven Sanderson
Single Page Applications - for desktop, mobile, tablet with ASP.NET MVC4
I have downloaded and installed the Build Preview - http://www.asp.net/vnext
I have using NuGet, tried to update my SPA Scaffolding to ASP.NET SPA MVC 4 (Beta)
I am running Visual Studio 2012
When i create a new MVC4 application, there are some distinctive differences between what i have and the demo's i see.
Primarily, after create a new project, if you view what you have the sites look completely difference

Single Page Application with read/write actions and views, using Entity Framework
This is not avaiable in my Create Controller Dialog

Why are my options differen't?
What have I not installed?
Thanks for any help
The new SPA template is a completely different template, as you have discovered. Short story ... the new template is revised to be a starting place, the old template was deemed too prescriptive.
The new template is a preview and will have more changes by the time it is released. The idea is you can use it as a starting point for a SPA and then add features and other libraries as needed.
UPDATE: If you want more info on what's in the latest template you can read my post here: http://www.johnpapa.net/insidespatemplate

Side-by-Side Asp.Net and MVC Razor

We have an existing ASP.Net Web Application. I would like to create an ASP.Net MVC Razor Application where the two applications will work together. A single Master Page would contain menu items that can call .aspx pages as well as Razor .cshtml pages.
I have seen an example using MvcContrib Portable areas utilizing Routing. This particular example has .aspx pages in both (the MVC was not Razor).
Is there an example out there that will show the two running side-by-side and the MVC is Razor? It would be best if I could download a visual Studio Solution so that I can run this.
I am not sure if the MvcContrib way is the latest and best way to achieve this.
I do not want to go Hybrid!
You don't need any other external librarry. You can always convert the existing ASP.NET web forms Project to be a Hybrid one which uses webforms and MVC. You need to add the required MVC assembly references and make some changes to the web.config and you are all set. Scott has a simple and awesome blog post about this where he explains how to do the conversion.
I scribbled a note about how to enable the MVC specific Context menu( Add Controller / Add View) in the hybrid project after conversion here

How to put an ASP.Net website inside MVC website?

I have an ASP.Net website and I want to put this website inside a MVC website I recently did, so this ASP.Net website will be part from the MVC website.
Is there a standard or a known way to do so?
Ask me if you want to know more information, I am not sure what info could help.
this shows merging an existing asp.net site into a new MVC3 site. The same applies for merging existing into existing. Just get a merge tool and merge them!

Could you put your MVC project into the webforms one? If so, this nuget will help with that: http://www.nuget.org/Tags/WebForms

Mixing VB ASP.NET and C# ASP.MVC projects in a single solution
Ok, couple of different things here.
Can a ASP.NET forms project exist in the same solution? Yes
Can you mix MVC with WebForms in the same project? No
Can a MVC site communicate with a WebForms site? Yes, you can easily pass between via simulated form submission or by URL. You could also configure cookies to work across both sites.
Can you have an MVC site and a WebForms site use the same url? No
