WebForms code cannot be ported over because WebForms' entire architecture is built around a stateful view-layer over stateless server-side code. It's fundamentally broken and incompatible with how the web works (simply look at how WebForms' PostBack system breaks the browser back button and makes it impossible to link to pages or content that can only be accessed via PostBack).

There isn't an easy way to move from WebForms to MVC because it's impossible.
