Visual Studio 2013.
I have read the comparison between using a web site project and a web application project for development.
I prefer to use the web site model because of the simplicity of simply copying the files to Production for deployment.
I have already built the web application project out --> new Project --> ASP.Net Web Application and choosing MVC and Web API.
I now wish to create a corresponding website project so my development environment matches the eventual Prod environment.
However, there is nowhere near the number of scaffolding benefits on offer to building a website project.
You don't, for instance, get to choose to add MVC, Web API components and so on.
Therefore none of the MVC or Web API folders exist and there are no options to, for instance ,even create an empty code-first class.
There is not even an option to create a Global.asax file. There is no 'Area' folder where the bundling and WebAPI.config files sit.
Where are all the development options, folders and scaffolding that a web application project has as opposed to zippo for building a web site project.
