I am importing old html pages to CMS build in ASP.NET. Unfortunately I cant use URL Rewrite to redirect .htm pages to .aspx pages because I am on shared hosting and the hosting company will not map .htm requests to aspnet engine.
Only alternative apart from dedicated server as I see it are 301 redirects. What worries me in that case if the pages redirected to new .aspx extension are goin to loose the position in SE.
Any help with this will be greatly appreciated.

do you mean your old .htm pages? well of course there going to loose there rankings because they don't exist anymore. You need to make sure your .asp pages are optimised and these should take over the positions of your old .htm pages.
I'd say the redirect is the way to go if the mod rewrite doesn't work

Maybe I did not ask the right question. The problem would be any significant drop in traffic in the transition period - while html pages are replaced by aspx pages. Last thing I want the boss comming back hard on me coz sales are down.

in the long run, with the 301 redirect, things should work out okay eventually. But ... I think your boss is a bit off if he thinks there will be no change with the search engines if all of his pages are changing.

You can redirect your pages (on shared hosting too) using 404 error page. Parse the .htm url and use either
Server.Transfer to return 200 OK code and feed content to .htm urls
or
Response.Status and Response.AddHeader to do 301 redirect.
