With a web
application project, I get 3 default targets; the app, the application

targets all about?
The Application Server target builds a product designed to run on the
application server, the server where the application code will execute.
The Web Server target builds a product designed to be installed on the
Web server, the server running the Web server that users connect to.
These can be the same or different physical servers, so it's important
that the different products can be built.
Under what circumstances would you add items to the web
server target or the actual app target?
Resources to be vended by the Web server would be included in the Web
Server target. Some examples would be images that the app uses, CSS or
JavaScript files, or other resources typically found in the Web server
document root.
The app target is an aggregate target whose dependencies are the
Application Server and Web Server targets. So when you build the app
target, any changes in either the Application Server or Web Server
targets will result in either of them being rebuilt. This saves the
developer from remembering to rebuild either the Application Server or
Web Server targets manually when a change has been made.
I have rarely added a project resource to the app target. Maybe
someone else will provide an example.

Art
