10.1. Project Templates

VS2010 contains a number of new types of ASP.NET projects and makes some modifications to existing types:

• New Empty ASP.NET Web Application project (just the bare minimum)

• New Silverlight 1.0 Web Site project (uh, time to move on)

• New ASP.NET AJAX Server Control and Server Control Extender project

• New ASP.NET MVC 2 Web Application project

• Modified ASP.NET Web Site project and modified ASP.NET Web Application project (like VS2008's ASP.NET Web Site project but with new changes in the ASP.NET Web Application project, as discussed in this chapter)

The ASP.NET web projects now contain common authentication and profile functionality, a master page with a simple layout, and jQuery scripts (see Figure 10-1).
