I understand now. ASP.NET can be a beast sometimes.

>WAP creates a DLL, just like WinForm projects. Did you use ASP.NET 1.1? If so, WAP works the same way as web projects in 1.1, everything's in a DLL (except the aspx files, of course).

>>>The only web stuff we have are Web Services, but it's basically the same. In VS2003, the only way to do web stuff was through projects ... same as Win stuff. But, for some reason, MS decided that wasn't the way to do web sites/services and so VS2005 didn't originally come with the Web Application Project capability. MS took it away. Enough developers must have complained about it because they gave it back to us with an add-in, and then with SP1 put it all back in.
