Hi,

There are two ways to create web-based application or web service, from VS
start page, click on File and New, two options you can choose, one is
Projects which leads you to create ASP.NET Web Application or ASP.NET Web
Service Application. Another one is Web Site which leads you to create
ASP.NET Web Site or ASP.NET Web Service.
My question is what is the difference between these two ways. Especially in
terms of production performance, maintainance, resource consuming.

Thanks.
William

William,

How the webpages are done is very dependend from the version that you are
using.

In version 2002/2003 it was using projects. In version 2005 it was using Web
Site however their came an addition to do it as well on the project way.
However, the later is sligthly different to be not direct compatible with
the 2002/2003 way.

By the way, this is not a web development newsgroup. For that is it is about
the language you can visit one of the languages newsgroups and when it is
more in common for all newsgroups the Framework.ASPNet newsgroup.

Hi Cor,

Thanks for your response. I chose this newsgroup by mistake, I intended the
one you mentioned which is under adonet.
Anyway what's the real difference except compatibility?
The reason I'm asking this question is that I am designing an upgrading
system from VB6 to .NET, it will be web-based SOA system. I used VS2003 for
developing web application and web service, when I deploy them, I deploy all
BLL assemblies at centrolized location on application server instead of
having a copy of them under web bin folder. But in VS2005, if I use creating
web site approach, all referenced dlls will be included under bin folder, and
any time if any dll has been changed, I need to deploy it both places.

Thanks.

Bill,

I am strugling forever as well with this with Webpages, I become crazy of
all that consequentely "complete" new stuff that is done in ASP.NET. Please
ask this in that newsgroup, maybe is there the latest version knowed.

Better way for dropdownlists
simple SQL: select missing rows
Add Records
Importing Data
Generics?
