    I have seen a lot of post on how to convert a Website to a Web Application.
    What I would like to know is how to convert a Web Application to a Website.

    I am using Visual Studio Express 2012 and SQL Server Express 2012.

    Can anybody help me on that? It would be much appreciated.

    Thank you.

    To my knowledge, there is no built-in way to automatically convert a web application to a website. Unfortunately I doubt there is a better way than to just create a new website and include the files manually.

    I'm sure you're already aware of the pros and cons of websites, but if not, I'd suggest you have a look at the link below. Just to make sure you want to go down the website road. :-)

    Hello,

    Thank you for your post.

    I am afraid that the issue is out of support range of VS General Question forum which mainly discusses WPF & SL designer, Visual Studio Guidance Automation Toolkit, Developer Documentation and Help System and Visual Studio Editor.

    Because your issue is related to ASP.NET Web Application and website convertion, I agree with that there is no built-in way to automatically convert a web application to a website, I suggest that you can consult your issue on ASP.NET forum: http://forums.asp.net/  to check whether there are some ways to accomplish.

    Best regards,
