Difference between .NET and ASP.NET

Dear Christina,

ASP.Net is built on the .Net framework to provide additional functionality around web development.
You might go look at the wikipedia article on this. In particular, pay attention to the .Net Framework stack under the Versions section.

hey, christy
There is very simple difference between both,

.Net is a framework,not a language
when ASP.NET is a language.

With .Net you can make web and windows applications.
ASP.NET is the webpart of the .net framework

Hi,

ASP: Active Server Pages (now referred to as ASP Classic) is a server-side scripting environment that predates .Net and has nothing to do with it
ASP pages are usually written in VBScript, but can be written in any language supported by the Windows Scripting Host - JScript and VBScript are supported natively, with third-party libraries offering support for PerlScript and other dynamic languages.

.Net: is a framework for managed code and assemblies
.Net code can be written in any language that has an CIL compiler.

CLR Common Language Runtime, is the core runtime used by the .Net framework
The CLR transforms CIL code (formerly MSIL) into machine code (this is done by the JITter or by ngen) and executes it.

ASP.Net is a replacement for ASP built on .Net
ASP.Net pages can be written in any .Net language, but are usually written in C#.
