Browsers don't understand c# or vb.net, that code runs on the server and generates html which is sent to the browser and it's the html the browser understands (as well as javascript).

That's easy. They don't.

Code that is written in C# or VB.NET, or any of the other managed languages, doesn't run in the browser.

In an ASP.NET application, all that code runs on the server, not the browser.

In a Silverlight application that runs in a browser, the browser is just a host. The code is run by the Silverlight .NET CLR in a container in the browser.

The question was a setup to see if you knew what you were talking about.
