.NET is the framework everything runs on top of.
ASP.NET is the technology on top of .NET that handle dynamic web pages
VB.NET and C# are languages.

VB.NET and C# can be used as 'codebehinds' when using ASP.NET technology.

we use VB6.0 for desktop application and we use asp for web application. Is there any similarity between their latest versions like VB.net and ASP.net. I mean r they still being used for desktop(VB.net) and web(asp.net/c#) applications respectively? If not then wat will we use for desktop application when we want to develope using .net???

As before. VB.NET for desktop apps, ASP.NET for web apps.
