Hi Eddie,

I'm assuming you're referring to the Visual Studio project types called Web
Applicaiton and Web Service. In general, a web applicaiton is a web site -
has visual interfaces, HTML, ASP pages, images, etc. A web service
application is a headless (no visual interface) that exposes programming
methods much like a function library would back in the old days. An
ASP.Net web service is useful for exposing programming interfaces (as
opposed to people interfaces) in a cross platform safe (mostly) manner.

Hope this helps
