I'm not sure what you mean by ASP.NET is not .NET and C# is not .NET. But anyway...
Quote: | JScript .NET is the next generation of an implementation by Microsoft of the ECMA 262 language. Combining the feature set of previous versions of JScript with the best features of class-based languages, JScript .NET includes the best of both worlds. Improvements in JScript .NET — which is being developed in conjunction with ECMAScript Edition 4 — include true compiled code, typed and typeless variables, late- and early-binding, classes (with inheritance, function overloading, property accessors, and more), packages, cross-language support, and full access to the .NET Framework. |
Quoted from the .NET documentation. It's not integrated in the development environment, and I would submit that it's been written to bait JScript savy developers into trying .NET (kind of like a crack dealer offering a freebee). Once they try it, they'll be tempted to try C#, a more robust language that's better integrated into the environment.
Then, if everything's gone according to plan, the former JScripter is hooked on C# and is converted to a Microsoftie. Three years later his wife has left him, he's lost his home and car, and he's in rehab. Better stick w/ JScript...
