Mahesh Chand · Answer

You don't have to know ASP.NET to work with SharePoint depending on what you are doing. If you are a developer want to build custom solutions you will end up using ASP.NET to build custom solutions but if you are an Admin or developer using out-of-box features you really don't need to know ASP.NET.
