Hi Organza,
This is a language VBNet newsgroup, that means everything that has to do
with the language VB.Net.
VB.Net is only usable with the .Net framework as extra layer on the OS.
What is not a problem because that is free and easy to install on newer OS,
because you are need as well IIS it has to be Microsoft NT4 with SP6 or a
newer NT system.
When you want to see some information about it have a look at this how to
use it, it is much better than ASP, although for the webservice I advise to
use Visual Studio Net to develop.

Better newsgroup in my opinion for your current question without VS Net are
when it is dotNet.
microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.aspnet
and
microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.security
Do not hesitate to send to both, using crossposting (one message to both
groups) that gives information. Do not multipost one messages to every
seperate newsgroup, that we hate.
For ASP related questions you better can have a look in a special newsgroup
for that. Pure ASP is not dotNet.
I hope this gives some information?
