Actually Bob, the .Net framework is free for anyone who has Windows. If
you want to program in ASP.NET, you can download the .NET framework,
program your ASP pages in VB.NET or C#.NET using notepad or any other
editor you choose, compile using the included command line compiler and
deploy your application on any machine with the .NET framework using
XCOPY.

If you want visual tools you can buy VB.NET or VS.NET. But you don't
have to.
