You are correct, there are two ways of creating "websites" in Visual Studio. One is to create a "New Website" and one is to create a new "Web Application". The latter is what you want. When you go to File > New Project, you'll want to select this:
Getting all your files from your website in to that web application will be a bit of a pain. I'd start by installing Umbraco into that project using NuGet. Once you've done that, then you can start migrating things over manually (copying files and such) and it'll be a bit easier.
VS Website to VS Website Project
Hello Umbrcians,
I am very new to .NET domain and I have created a New Web Site in Visual Studio 2015, Installed Umbraco and build the website.
I wanted to publish and upload on the server. I was told to change Website to Project in VS before publishing..
Please advice how should I proceed. What are the steps to convert Website to a Project and publish.
Awaiting your earliest solution.
Thanks
Hello and welcome to our.
I think you will find a website is a project in VS?
You can change your build from debug to release in configuration manager.

Thank you Nicholas with Screenshots.
I ll install again as a project and follow your steps.
Mr. Nicho,
I have created one project in VS and installed Umbraco freshly, then transferred the website folders to the Project
I am thrown errors when I bulid the solution, most of the errors are about Duplicate.
From Visual studio create a Empty project and using Nuget Manger add the Umbraco CMS package, this is the easiest way for Creating Umbraco project
Mr. Manju,
Earlier I created as New Website in Visual Studio and I am having problem with namespace.
As per received advice, I have installed Umbraco and transferred the files, where I am thrown errors while building.
Is that ok to proceed or to be fixed
is working on a reply...
