    No, they are not the same. While both allow a programmer the ability to create dynamic content in a web page, how they work are completely different.

    ASP is an interpreted language, which means that every time an ASP file is read, it is interpreted by the server into a language that the computer can understand. Basically, it is HTML with VBScript mashed up in the middle of it.

    ASP.Net on the other hand is a compiled language. There is an aspx file which contains most of the information required to render a page, and then there is actual compiled code that it uses to dynamically fill in information where needed. This gives a programmer the opportunity to use any language that can be compiled into a format understood by ASP.Net to be used, instead of just visual basic.

    ASP allows you to use only basic scripting languages, whereas ASP.NET lets you do more with any language that is included in .NET framework. C# or VB.NET.
