<p>To start a new ASP.NET project in Visual Studio 2008 we are presented with two options to go about creating a website,you can either create it as a new ASP.NET Web Site(File  > New Website > ASP.Net website) or an ASP.NET Web Application(File > New Project > ASP.net Web Application).</p>

<p>What's the difference between these two project types? Has got to do anything with the security or performance?</p>

<p>Im using Visual Web Developer 2008 Express edition.Does the Visual Studio Professional Edition have additional options to create ASP.Net Project?</p>

<p>Thank You</p>
