Is ASP the same as ASP.NET? I have IIS 5 loaded on my XP Pro desktop. And I know I can run ASP scripts. What about ASP.NET? Also many of the Dreamweaver MX extentions says it is for ASP.NET, Can I use them.

Wanna be WebDESIGNER

They are greatly different. Microsoft intraduced something called the <b>.net framework</b>. It's current version is 1.1 and it must be installed on your server. It greatly enhances your ability to create database apps among other things. It is like php or asp, it is an app server.

All of microsoft's programming languages can now create programs that run in a web browser. So if you are a Visual Basic, C++ or J++ programmer, you can build impressive web apps. Dreamweaver MX will allow you to use the vb.net app server but I have not gotten it to work. I am checking with my web hosting company to make sure the are running the latest .net framework.
