ASP.NET or VB.NET?

[cornholio]

Hi all,

i'm in my last year and to graduate i've got to complete a project. For my project i have to locate all the sites of a company on a map like google earth. This information has to be available for every IT person from the company. So my instructor want's it to be some kind of web application. So everyone can access it via a url. Now my question is, in school i've learned to program in vb.net, but when i search for the vb.net possibilities in web applications, i always see a link to ASP.NET. Now my question, what is best to use? Is it worth learning ASP.NET for this project. I know maybe later it will, but for now?

Thnx in advance. Greetz!

VB.net vs ASP.net

The functionality of an ASP.net page is dependent on code behind pages which can be programmed in guess what...VB.net. ASP.net offers a visual interface where you create pages and drop controls onto the page. Your Visual Basic skills will make the pages work. Friendly developers have set up multiple web sites to help you. There are many tutorials and multiple forums. I think you are on the right path.

It's not ASP.NET or VB.NET it's ASP.NET & VB.NET.

This is a common misunderstanding. ASP.NET is not a programming language but instead a framework. You can use a multitude of languages to program an ASP.NET application including VB.NET, C#, J#, ...
