Visual Studio 2008 Project vs. website debugging

To create a website I chose 'create website' in VS2008. I soon discovered that the compile options were not available (or at least I could not find the option) like creating serialization assemblies. So I created a project and made the site into a 'project'.

As a web site I could have the page open in a browser, save a change to page in VS, and then just refresh the browser so see the changes. As a project I now have to compile the entire site every time I make a change. Note: When I deploy the site, I deploy it compiled only.

Is there any way to have a VS project mimic the debugging settings of a VS website? Developing a website within a project is kind of a pain in comparison. Conversely is there a way to compile and deploy a VS web site the same way I can with a VS project.

Thanks
