Well, if you're talking about a web application, you've made a good choice
to go with the Microsoft platform. As for what programming technology you
want to use, ASP or ASP.Net, I suppose it really depends on how much money
you want to spend. ASP.Net is much more powerful than ASP, but you'll
probably have to pay more for an ASP.Net developer. Depending upon the needs
of your application, and your budget, ASP may be good enough, but you'd have
to have a programmer do an analysis of your requirements to make that
decision.
