Who here knows ASP.NET in C#? Is this the right group?

[RayLopez99]

Who here knows ASP.NET in C#? What are the differences with C# and
ASP.NET? I suspect the latter is not 'strongly typed', whatever that
means.

Also, is there a Usenet group for ASP.NET, or should I just post
questions and observations here?

What are the differences with C# and
ASP.NET?

C# is a programming language, ASP.NET is a server-side programming
framework which can use different languages, one of which is C#.

Also, is there a Usenet group for ASP.NET, or should I just post
questions and observations here?

Use microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.aspnet

What are the differences with C# and ASP.NET?

C# is a programming language and ASP.NET is a web application platform.

The two most common programming languages used with ASP.NET is C# and
VB.NET.

Also, is there a Usenet group for ASP.NET, or should I just post
questions and observations here?

microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.aspnet

Addition to what has already been answered.

Strongly Typed means the code adheres to specific types, instead of using
object. As an example, a DataSet object has columns that are not strongly
typed, thus you have to pull values using a syntax like this:

int userId = (int)DataSet.Tables[0].Rows[0]["UserId"];
string firstName = dataSet.Tables[0]["FirstName"].ToString();

This is due to all fields being set up as objects (object type).

Youc an build strongly typed DataSets using the DataSet designer. In this
case, the method is more like so:

int userId = strongTypedDataSet.User[0].UserId;
string firstName = strongTypedDataSet.User[0].FirstName;

It gets easier as things go along.

ASP.NET is simply a framework for delivering web apps. You can code them in
C#, VB, or any other language you have a compiler for (C++, F#, COBOL,
etc.). It has nothing to do with strong typing.
