You're half right. ASP.net is the "enhanced" version of ASP. It is not a
language; ASP.net pages can be written using VB.Net (which is not just for
applications), C#, etc. However VB.Net and C# can be used for a lot more
than just server-side web pages, much like VBScript and JScript can
currently be used for more than just server-side web pages.

No, you still need client-side code for that, however many of the apps you
will build do much of the hard work for you. I suggest asking these
questions in a dotnet forum rather than here.
