Hi,I'm a total beginner.

Can you tell me what does IIS process and ASP.NET process mean?

Also,I've already got VS.NET installed,so I can't check it for myself,but is IIS just server program which handles the requests and post s back HTML or does it actually convert ASPX pages into html?

Thank you.I hope you can help

IIS (Internet Information Service) is a Service that makes it possible for your computer (localhost) to host websites.
IIS has a set of plugins and MIME types that will instruct it how to open certain files through the HTTP protocol.

ASP.NET is a programming technology that creates web applications, generating aspx files that IIS will open through the .NET Framework classes (if the .NET Framework is installed correctly).

In cheap words, ISS transforms your computer in a web server, while ASP.NET is a way to write website code. ASP.NET can use different kind of languages, VB.NET, C# are the most famous ones.

Hope this helps to clear up a bit. For any other help let us know and we will be happy to guide your through your first .NET application.

Happy Coding!!!!

Thank you very much.
So CLR of NET.framework still does what it s supposed to do,only that now IIS supervises things?Right?

the .net framework is actually what translates aspx pages into html pages.

IIS is capable of responding to web requests. Anything that comes through on port 88 IIS takes care of. In the case of aspx pages, IIS gets the page from the .Net framework and serves up the HTML to the client. The framework is doing all the work of rendering what needs to be rendered in order to show the client something.

Hope that clears it up for you. That'l do donkey, that'l do
