You can write ASP.NET Applications in:

  • C#
  • VB.NET
  • F#
  • ... Any .NET supported language

You can write Classic ASP applications in

  • VBScript
  • JScript
  • Perl - Interesting eh?

Client side you can use whatever the browser supports.

For server side languages:

Classic ASP uses JavaScript (or rather JScript, the Microsoft version) or VBScript as server side scripting language.

ASP.Net doesn't really use a "script" language, as it is compiled. You can use any .Net language. Often VB.Net or C# is used.

Server-side code is used to generate HTML code (among other processing such as interacting with a database). When the server processing is done the resulting HTML code is sent to the browser where the page is displayed according to that definition. The server can not react again unless the page is submitted. For speedier reactions, client-side javascript may be used. The importance of javascript for a particular page can range from hardly any (maybe some input validation) to a huge amount (like in gmail).

Older Classic ASP pages can be written in any language that supports Microsoft's Active Scripting technology, typically:

  • VBScript
  • JScript (Microsoft's dialect of Ecmascript)

ASP.Net pages can be authored in any supported .Net language, typically:

  • C#
  • VB.NET

These are all Server Side languages, so called because they execute on the web server.

Any server side language can output script for the browser execute on the client side, this is typically JavaScript.
