:confused: How do you expect to write web based software without useing a web based programming language? You are gonna need to learn ASP.NET as well. In fact, I would suspect that would be the larger part of the app.

Correct me if im wrong, but cant you code asp in vb language?

I'm comfortable in learning any language in the .net framework, I just dont want to go php or something like that.

No ASP.Net while similar to VB.Net is it own language. Maybe you are confusing Visual Studio and Visual Basic.Net, they are 2 different things.

Visual Studio is a development environment in which you can program for various .Net Languages including VB.Net C# and ASP.Net.

Visual Basic.Net is one of the family of .Net languages, it is generally used to write desktop applications, while ASP.Net is used to write Web applications.

Hack is correct in that if you want to write a web application then you need to learn ASP.Net.

Ok thanks, noted.

Do you know of any good asp.net books?

This is a good one, and latest version/edition http://www.amazon.com/Professional-A...033044&sr=1-12

Thanx

That's not true at all. Somebody must be relying on the Visual Studio Express SKUs to get their notions. I think you are "slicing" things along the wrong plane.

ASP.Net is just an IIS-bound Web framework for .Net languages. The actual code involved can be VB.Net, C#, or any of several .Net languages.

Thanks for the link! It should prove useful when I start learning ASP.Net.

Oops, did i say that ! must have been at the end of a long day. I should know better really as we have ASP.Net projects in my team written in C#, i just dont work on them as often as other projects.

Still though there is quite a difference between an ASP.Net project and a VB.Net project, and it is that that you will need to learn.
