Beginning Web Development, Silverlight, and ASP.NET AJAX

CHAPTER 2 ■ BASICS OF WEB DEVELOPMENT WITH ASP.NET 25
Visual Studio converts the WSDL into a C# class (the proxy) and stores it under the
App_WebReferences folder, which Visual Studio also creates for you. Later in the chapter,
we’ll use this quote service to actually retrieve stock quote values.
Copy Web Site
This enables you to copy your web site to a new location. This can be another directory
on your file system or a remote directory on an FTP or IIS server. Copy Web Site can also
be used to back up or deploy your web site.
Start Options
This enables you to specify the action to take when you start the project. It’s a shortcut to
the Property Pages window, with the start options already selected (see Figure 2-15).
Figure 2-15. Web Start options
You can use this dialog box to specify how the application will start—for example,
launching the current page (in the IDE) as the start page, specifying a particular page, or
starting an external program first before launching the site. You can also specify the
server to use and how to authenticate against that server.
