Difference between WebSite and Project in Visual Studio 2008?

Hi,

When I click on file button in Visual studio I'll get two option first is new project and second is new website.

 Can anyone tell me what is difference between new project and  new website?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

If you select web site, visual studio show a menu with differents kinds of project but all of they are related with web enviroment (Web site, Web Service, WCF services, ..) instead if you select new project it appears menu with all differents kind os project thata you can create with  you visual studio (console application, WPF project, Reporting, Office, WorkFlow,.. )

You also see a tab named Web and you will see that are differents project that you can create in Web Site option (in this way you can create a Web application, in the other side you create a web site). Differents between two options are listed below.
