Hi,

I am trying to figure out the difference between Asp.Net Web Site and
Asp.Net Web Application.
From your experience, what is recommended - Web Site or Web

Application ?

Thanks so much.

Ruthie - just starting with Asp...
 
Web Site is the model that originally came out with Visual Studio 2005. A lot
of developers gave feedback (read: "complained") and the ASP.NET Team came
out with the Web Application project alternative, which is much more similar
to the original ASP.NET 1.1 model, compiling a single assmbly for all the
pages.

I prefer the latter, but the choice is yours. Both have advantages. You will
probably find Web Applicaition Project simpler to use as a beginner.

Dear Peter,

Thanks so much for your explanation.

Can you please point out what are the advantages when using Web Site ?

I started already working with web site - is it better to transform
the code to Web Application Project?

Thanks.

Ruthie.
