distinction please

[snadell]

can someone make a distinction between VBScript, ASP and asp.net? Are they all the same thing?

[Phil Weber]

No, they're not the same thing. VBScript is a programming language; ASP and ASP.NET are not. You may use VBScript to code ASP pages, which are Web pages that are interpreted by the ASP engine. ASP.NET pages are coded in a .NET language, such as C# or VB.NET, and are compiled by the .NET runtime.

asp.net has tons of advantages over asp classic as well, Infact I posted about it on another forum:
