Visual Studio 2005 has a new way of handling web projects that is quite a bit different from how it was done in Visual Studio .NET 2003. For the initial release of VS 2005 this new "Web Site" project type replaces what was in VS 2003.
Here is a link to an article describing the new "web site" project, why they did it, the benefits, etc.
VS 2005 Web Project System: What is it and why did we do it?
Based on feedback related to the new paradigm, Microsoft is adding a new "Web Application" project type which works much closer to the way things worked in VS 2003. For now it is available as a preview, but it will eventually be released as an add-on to VS 2005 and will later become part of VS 2005 when SP1 is released.
Here is the main site with information on this new feature:
