What precisely do we mean by ASP.NET version 2.0 ? Is it the version lined with .net CLR version 2.0 ?
What about aspnet_isapi.dll and aspnet_wp.exe ? How do they fit in with respect to the versions 1.1 / 2.0 / 3.5 of the .net framework?
.NET 3.5 uses CLR 2.0. Does that mean nothing changes in ASP.NET 3.5 except for additions to the Class Libraries ?

It was first released in January 2002 with version 1.0 of the . NET Framework and is the successor to Microsoft's Active Server Pages (ASP) technology. ASP.NET is built on the Common Language Runtime (CLR), allowing programmers to write ASP.NET code using any supported . NET language.
What types of application can be built using ASP.NET 3.0. ASP.NET 3.0 provides excellent flexibility to leverage the benefits of its cross-platform nature, performance, and modern deployment options. It allows programmers to build their application of choice, be it Web, Desktop, Mobile, Cloud, Gaming, IoT, etc.
There have been three versions of ASP, each introduced with different versions of IIS: ASP 1.0 was released in December 1996 as part of IIS 3.0. ASP 2.0 was released in September 1997 as part of IIS 4.0. ASP 3.0 was released in November 2000 as part of IIS 5.0.
NET Framework 2.0 has been around for a decade but will be completely unsupported by Microsoft; the announced end of the extended support period is April 12, 2016. In lock-step with the . NET Framework, the corresponding version of Microsoft's development tool, Visual Studio 2005, is also at its end-of-life.
ASP.NET 2.0 is the framework that shipped with .NET 2.0 (and thus CLR 2.0). In most ways, this number currently aligns most closely with the CLR version, in that although .NET 3.0 / .NET 3.5 add extra assemblies that can (and are) used by ASP.NET applications, there is no new ASP.NET version number.
Re your last point... "nothing changes"... well, the code that runs is largely dictated by the class libraries. So; yes, there are new dlls, and minor tweaks to the older dlls. But indeed, the core technology itself remains more or less the same.
