What's the difference in VS2005 between choosing File->New->Web Site->AJAX Enabled Web Application and File->New->Project->Visual C#->AJAX Enabled Web Application? TIA - Jeff. |

In my often-repeated opinion: A web site is not a project. Almost everything else in Visual Studio is a project. Keep that in mind. I personally don't think that browser-based applications are so different from everything else developed in Visual Studio that they should not be projects. If you are creating a single web site, that is about content plus a little business logic or data access, then maybe a Web Site "project" is good enough for you. But if you are creating an application, that happens to have a browser-based UI, then you are better off creating a Web Application Project. For the introduction of Visual Studio 2005, someone in Microsoft got the idea that we all needed simplicity. As a result, they introduced "web sites", and got rid of the Web Application projects people had successfully been using since .NET 1.0. Shortly after, they introduced Visual Studio 2005 SP1, which brought Web Application Projects back. -- John Saunders | MVP - Connected System Developer "Mufasa" <jb@nowhere.com> wrote in message news:O5$Pgei$IHA.4780@TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... > What's the difference in VS2005 between choosing File->New->Web Site->AJAX > Enabled Web Application and File->New->Project->Visual C#->AJAX Enabled > Web Application? > > TIA - Jeff. > > |
