OK, I have managed to come up with a work-around for this problem.
If I open a Web Site type project (not really a "project", but don't know what else to call it), the "Add Web Deployment Project" menu item is present in the Build menu. So, if I then open my Web Application project, while the Web Site project is still
open, it closes the Web Site project, but it keeps the same menus. Thus, the "Add Web Deployment Project" remains visible, and I am able to add a Web Deployment project to my Web Application project.
If I just open the Web Application project without opening the Web Site project first, the "Add Web Deployment Project" menu item is not present.
This behavior is present on both my work computer and home computer. However, I'd love it if someone else could check this out and confirm that this is consistent behavior. Then, I could report it as a bug in Visual Studio, because it looks to me like
that's what it is.
