My current website has so many members and member articles. Is there an easy way to transfer all these members and related articles to Jamroom?

What is your current website running?

It is an ASP.NET website. I can put the data in a file using a requested format.

There's nothing off the shelf to do it, so a custom module would be required.
Is it just data or media files as well?
It would be a big job, and with media files, even bigger.
The reason I ask is that I've recently wanted to transfer one JR5 site to another so have started a 'MergeSite' module. Very early days and it still might not come to anything, so don't get excited, but interested if it could be made more 'general purpose' for situations like yours.

Actually, I don't have so many media files. Mostly lessons and articles. Of course they have images or some sound files embedded but it is maybe 20% of all.

So that what I like to know if I create a module based on blog, page or document modules for my lessons or articles is it possible to import my existing lessons and articles into jamroom by user?

Well, as I said, its very complicated and time consuming, particularly for a one-off job like this.
You'd first need to import profiles and users, then their blogs, pages and files. There would need to be a lot of testing and 'dry runs' to make sure it was working before actually doing it.
Take a look at the jrImport module (which is just for JR4 => JR5 imports) to see what might be involved.
