Check your %WINDIR%\Microsoft.NET\Framework directory.

You could run windows update. It should detect it if you don't have the
latest version.

Alternatively go to "configuration screen" -> "software" and check it under
there.

You should see some folder with names similar to this:

v1.0.3705 or v1.1.4322

That represents the version installed

Oh you're looking for the VS.NET version? I thought you meant the .NET
framework version.

Well, like most apps, VS.NET shows its version number in the About
dialog. You can also just look at the program group on your Start
menu, it says "Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003" for the 2003
version, and I believe it was just "Microsoft Visual Studio .NET" for
VS.NET 2002.
