what is the difference between asp.net and .net framework

Hi all,

I performed a search in the forum before asking this question.

Can anyone tell the difference between ASP.Net and .Net Framework.

ASP.NET is used to do web application development which is based on the .Net Framework.Besides,WinForm and Smart Device development are also on the base of .Net Framework.If you want to know .net framework in detail,please refer to Microsoft MSDN.

.net framwork is a environment where u can create robust applications for desktop, smart device etc

.net framework supports many languages - vb.net , c#, j# and another 15 languages.

using these languages u can create the application and target the compiler to create msil (intermediate language)

The clr which is a part of .net framework which takes care of il code and generate cpu specific codes.

in summary

write once using .net language and execute the code any where .net supported.
