Does the end user of an asp.net application needs .net installed

Question

When creating a asp.net page, which uses the .NET framework, does the client accessing the page need to have the .NET framework installed on their computer? I.e. User goes to www.fakesite.com/default.aspx, if they do not have the framework installed will they be able to access the website?

I ask because I'm not sure if the server processes the server-side code and then displays the HTML code to the client in which the client would not need the .NET framework.

Answer 1

The client doesn't need to have .net framework installed. ASP.NET is server side technology.
