java .net servlets applet

I am trying to understand what's the correspondent of servlets and applets in .NET but I don't have much experience in JAVA.

I am thinking applets could be compared to the silverlight stuff, meaning you code independently from the browser, but then it's not like that since (between other things) you can re-use an applet outside the browser.

I need to demonstrate web technologies for a JAVA-based college-course and I can use .NET as long as I can demonstrate the same stuff.

Any help or ideas appreciated!

In .Net, HTTP handlers (.ashx) are probably the closest thing to a servlet. As for applets, there isn't a direct equivelent, but siverlight is probably the closest (although its closer to Flash/JavaFX)
