C# is Microsoft's new language. It looks a lot like Java, but also inherits flavors from C++, Visual Basic and who know's what else.
The idea with ASP.NET is that you can use ANY language which conforms to the .NET framework. I believe the main ones will be C# and Visual Basic, but they even have theie own "Java-compatible" langauge now. The main work in an ASP.NET progam is done by using classes in the the .NET CLR (common-language runtime), and you can access all this functionality in any language (conceptually), even COBOL.
