When I want to start a new ASP.Net project in Visual Studio 2012 but I'm given the option to create an ASP.NET Web Application or an ASP.NET Web Site.

What's the difference between the two ASP.NET Web Application and ASP.NET Web Sites? I've developed Web Sites before but never tried a Web Application and would like to know more.

  • Quick google search should help with that. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd547590(v=vs.110).aspx – Humpy Jul 30 '14 at 13:27
  • Who upvoted this. It's clearly someone who didn't bother to do any research before asking the question, and it's a fairly basic one. Just read the intro docs on the two types of projects. – siride Jul 30 '14 at 13:30
  • Do not ever use Web Site "projects" if you can help it. They are different from every other project type in Visual Studio, and IMO represent a feature designed by the marketing department. – John Saunders Jul 30 '14 at 13:34

  • So, why didn't you vote to close as a duplicate? – John Saunders Jul 30 '14 at 13:31
  • I forgot that I had that ability. My bad. – Humpy Jul 30 '14 at 13:31
  • Sorry, I forgot that you do _not_ have that ability until 3,000. – John Saunders Jul 30 '14 at 13:32
  • Makes sense why I couldn't do it. And sad about the downvote. haha – Humpy Jul 30 '14 at 13:34
  • @Humpy even without the ability to close vote it still isn't a great answer as it's just links, no explanation. I would post something like this in the comments if I didn't have the rep to close as duplicate. – Tanner Jul 30 '14 at 14:50

    I made a comment about doing a google search, wasn't positive if he'd see it, knew he'd see an answer(if he checks back), even if it doesn't explain the answer in great depth, he'd get the idea that searching before asking would be best. – Humpy Jul 30 '14 at 14:55
