1. The download for Visual Studio.NET is only available to MSDN 

subscribers, although I do believe you can get a CD of it from Microsoft 

for a small fee - see http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/nextgen/beta.asp 

for more details.





2. In short, yes. In fact all you need is the Framework, IIS, and notepad! 

VS.NET just adds the rich development environment, but it's not a 

requirement for building ASP.NET applications.
