ASP.NET is the latest version provided by the Microsoft.But you can't say that it is the updated version of .net. Both of these are totally different from each other.

ASP is not a language. Unlike php which is both a web server framework and a language, asp refers to a web server framework supporting different languages. "Classic" asp refers to older style asp framework using various scripting languages. asp.NET refers to newer style web code based on the Microsoft NET framework.
asp.NET offers C# and VB as primary coding languages.
classic asp supports server-side vbscript, javascript, perlscript and a couple other lesser-known custom scripting languages.

An Active Server Page (ASP) is an HTML page that includes one or more scripts that are processed on a Microsoft Web server before the page is sent to the user.
ASP is a feature of the Microsoft IIS.
For Web service applications, Microsoft provides a latest version of ASP support called ASP.NET.

Major difference: Classic ASP is Interpreted. ASP.NET is Compiled. If code is changed, ASP.NET recompiles, otherwise does'nt.
And ASP works with VB as the language. ASP.NET works with VB.NET & C# as the languages.

This isn't correct. You can have a compiled asp application. VB is not a directly supported language in classic asp, however vbscript is.

ASP Classic is similar to PHP in that you have control of what the script is doing.
Great reason to prefer classic over .NET.
NOT.
Classic is a joke. It is interpreted/compiled. That's a big deal. You don't get an validation if you misspell a variable. Code re-use is much tougher.
Yes, .NET does generate some ugly code. You can use MVC if you don't like that, but complaining about the markup is ridiculous. You can work around that, but you can't work around the glaring weaknesses that is classic asp. ugh.
