regarding .net framework

[siddharth.to]

hi all,

I am just confused regarding the .net framework technology. I want to
know that is it true that ASP.net 1.1 make use of .net framework 1.1
and ASP.net make use of .net framework 2.0.

What is basically a .net Framework? And I want to clear one more doubt
that whether with Microsoft Visual Studio .net 2003 uses .NET framework
1.1 and Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 make use of .NET Framework 2.0.

Help Aprreciated

I am just confused regarding the .net framework technology. I want to
know that is it true that ASP.net 1.1 make use of .net framework 1.1
and ASP.net make use of .net framework 2.0.

What is basically a .net Framework? And I want to clear one more doubt
that whether with Microsoft Visual Studio .net 2003 uses .NET framework
1.1 and Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 make use of .NET Framework 2.0.

Paraphrased from "Beginning ASP.NET 2.0 in C# 2005":

"... .NET Framework is really a cluster of several technologies:

The .NET languages - including C#, VB.NET, JScript.NET, J#, and C++.
The CLE(Common Language Runtime) - runtime engine that executes
all .NET programs and provides automatic services for these apps.
The .NET Framework class library
ASP.NET - the engine that hosts web apps and services.
Visual Studio - optional development tool"

You can think of .NET Framework as a .dll library and a virtual machine
for languages that have been compiled to the .NET metalanguage.

My copy of Visual Studio 2003 uses .NET Framework 1.1, and my copy
of Visual Studio 2005 uses .NET Framework 2.0. Programs written for
..NET Framework 1.1 will run under .NET Framework 2.0 unless the .config
file specifies version 1.1. Programs written for v. 2.0 may or may not work
under 1.1 (i.e. don't count on it).
