Web application in Visual Studio 2008
-
Pardon me if this is not the correct place to ask following question. In visual studion I guess there are two ways to create a web application 1st : File -> New -> Web Site and 2nd : File -> New -> Project -> Visual C# -> ASP.Net Web Application I wonder what is the difference between the two. I found one, when I add crystal report file to fist one I can not see the .cs file for the same. Please guide

Generally from what I remember the Web Site is similar to the stuff which Visual Web Developer creates, it's more suited to compiling on the fly (just dump the .aspx and .cs files and when they're first requested ASP.NET compiles them). In a Web Application things tend to be compiled and then deployed (minus the source, although that's not a requirement), the major difference is that a web application looks on the file system more like a normal solution (i.e. a solution file, project files etc, whereas the web site is dumped all over the place usually). The general preference is to use a web application not a website.
