IIS is not required when in development mode in ASP.NET 2 using VS 2005 coz it has its own ASP.NET Development Server. ASP.NET creates a port of its own (the port number ranges from 1 to 65535 randomly, as long as its available!).
You may also save a web application anywhere on your PC while development, and still debugging would be possible.
When publishing the site, you would need to deploy it on an IIS 6 Web Server, which is available as a download for free. While publishing, you would need to save the web application @ \inetpub\wwwroot folder.
But for ASP.NET 1.1,1.0, you would surely require IIS.

As a matter of fact, you may also run ASP.NET on Apache, check out this link
