No.
C# is a language.
ASP.Net is a Framework for building Web Applications. Which is a set of classes/methods than can speed up development and you would use C# to access these classes and call those methods.
You could use ASP.Net with C# or Visual Basic. You can also use C# without ASP.Net.

can I still use other languages, or is ASP.net wed to C#? In ancient ASP scripting, I last used that ca. 9 years ago, there were choices.

You can use any number of .NET languages to develop your application - even if the help you get for languages other than C# or VB.NET is limited in the front end web project most of the work should be in other projects (assemblies) and that gives you a lot of flexibility
ASP.NET is a framework (with libraries and a bunch of controls) related to web applications and web sites. C# is one of the languages to use within the ASP.NET framework.
Similarly, you can use different languages, like C# or VB.NET for WinForms development. Same idea for ASP.NET.
