Difference B/T ASP and ASP.NET

Hey all just a quick question, I have been looking around at various design solutions for uploading a file using ASP and have found that many sources have devised a much simpler plan using ASP.NET.

My question is this, I have a box running Win2k Advanced Server, with the .NET framework installed. WIll that enable me to run some of the new functions etc. decribed in ASP.net ??

Thanks this is prolly too simple of a question,

Chris

No question is too simple!

Look at this way, if you don't have the .NET Framework on your machine then you can't run ASP.NET pages period.


Try it, take a machine with win2K for example that hasn't the .NET framework installed on it.

Then create a simple test.aspx file try and run it? It won't work.

Now install the .NET Framework and that same test.aspx file should run.

ASP and ASP.NET pages CAN run side by side if and only if the .NET framework is install otherwise its obvious that the ASP.NET pages wont run right?

Hope this helps!
Sincerely

Vlince

PS: Please feel free to add any comments if I'm wrong since I haven't really played with .NET yet :-(

Yes it seemed to work just fine, thanks. As long as u have the .NET framework installed it will map all .aspx files to the proper control.

Thanks again,

Chris
