I'm confused by the myriad of options for creating a new website in Visual Studio 2015.

In particular, I don't understand the difference between

  • File > New... Website... ASP.NET Website (Razor v3) and
  • File > New... Project... ASP.NET Web Application > ASP.NET 4.6.1 Templates > MVC 4

What I'd like is a website that works well with Entity Framework and provides scaffolding to quickly create data entry forms.

It seems MVC 4 provides this, but is there something similar for Razor?

The main difference between the Web Application and the Website is that it will compile the application into a single DLL file at build time. In order to update the project it must be recompiled and the DLL file published for changes to occur.
