Website and Webapp using Visual Studio (what is the difference between the two)

Recently, I had to struggle with migrating from website to webapp using Visual Studio. Fortunately, much has been written about it on the MSDN. But, I was quite confused at the beginning. In a nutshell, Website -- is dynamically compiled (like JSP pages). Webapp -- requires a "build" or compile process (like Servlets). However, in the case of ASPX, you need to choose one or the other. Fortunately, there is a tool to convert your website to webapp in Visual Studio.
