Does ASP 2 get installed with Framework 2? I am experiencing confusion with terms "net Framework" and "ASP" and how they work together.

 

Do you mean ASP.NET? If that's what you mean then yes it does get installed as part of the .NET framework. ASP.NET is part of the .NET framework.

Basically ASP.NET is a set of assemblies that come with the .NET Framework that allow you to server ASPX pages (web forms) and thus create a dynamic website.

So if we have Framework 2 installed, does that mean we also have ASP.net 2.0 and not ASP.net 1.0?

 

I beleive if you install .net framework 2.0, asp.net 1.x won't be installed. But if you're wondering if you can run them side by side, then the answer is yes, you can. If .net 1.x was installed and then you install .net 2.0 then they both will be there. If you install 2.0 and 1.x was not there then asp.net 1.x won't be installed. You can double check this by going to IIS, right click on the default website. There should be an ASP.NET tab, under that tab there's a dropdown (ASP.NET version) and you have 2 values: 1.x or 2.0. That is how I have it because I have both versions. I'm not sure if the tab will be there if you only have 2.0 installed.

I do have both versions via checking by your directions but what I wanted to know was if you have Framework 2 does it automatically mean you have ASP 2?

 

yes, you have ASP.NET 2.0 installed

"ASP" is a specific technology that is not ASP.NET and not related to ASP.NET.  It's often referred to as ASP Classic or just ASP.  ASP 2.0 is standard on Windows 2000 and above, though you need to enable it in Server 2003/IIS 6.
