Visual Studio website vs web application

Visual Studio website vs. web application

Earlier this year (2008) I decided to switch my web apps in favour of websites in Visual Studio 2005. To my surprise, the website mode does not generate XML documentation. So I am switching my projects back to web apps with the help of instructions on this site: http://webproject.scottgu.com/CSharp/Migration2/Migration2.aspx
