Hi,

Rick Strahl has written extensively about his experience with both of them. I think this is the best kind of documentation you can get, real world usage experience: http://west-wind.com/weblog/posts/5601.aspx

See also Rick's article on ASP.NET Compilation : http://www.west-wind.com/presentations/AspNetCompilation/AspNetCompilation.asp it covers both project models plus a lot more.

To WAP or not to WAP

Hello,

I assume WAP stands for the Web Application project format that was added to VS2005.

I manage a web site in .Net 1.1 and VS2003 and must migrate to VS2005.

I already made the migration to a WAP and almost all is working but, for the next version, a lot was requested that is asking for the power of .Net 2.0 !! Master pages, UI Customization, user profiles, AJAX, unit tests, scalabality tests...

I'm tempted to re-write the web site using the Web Site project format and re-write the old thing or keep with the current projet and add new pages with all the new features. I have been looking everywhere for a comparison of the two formats but couldn't find a thing.

I found Scott Guru mentioning several times that such guides and White papers would be done on his blog (wich is really great...) <http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/tags/Visual+Studio/default.aspx> but did not find anything.

Can anyone help me find any documentation that would help me make my choice and sell it to my team ?

Thanks, have a nice day,

Claude
