Daniel,



First, I guess we should clarify in general terms what

some of the technologies are that you mentioned in

your e-mail:



ASP 3.0 - This is the current released version of

          ASP that is available from Microsoft. As time

          goes on you will see this increasingly referred

          to as Classic ASP. ASP 3.0 had VBScript and

          JScript as Server-side scripting langauges

          integrated into the development platform.



ASP.NET - This is part of the new .NET Developer Tools

          from Microsoft. With ASP.NET they have decoupled

          the ASP.NET "execution environment" from the

          languages. VBScript is a thing of the past now.

          Visual Basic.NET is just one of the languages

          that can be used by ASP.NET. C#, a renovated

          JScript and several other third partly languages

          also get mixed into the pot.



VB.NET  - Visual Basic.NET is the next evolution of Visual

          Basic (supercedes Visual Basic 6.0). It has been

          updated to support more mature OO concepts and

          leverage the functionality of the .NET Framework.

          VB.NET can be used to create web-sites but ASP.NET

          is used as the enabler and the execution environment.



.NET    - At the core of all these new technology offerings

          is something called the .NET Framework and the

          Common Language Runtime. This enables a never

          before seen level of interoperability between

          development environments.



Hope this helps to clarify the alphabet soup.
