This could be a very naive question but I am curious to know. What happens when we press Ctrl + F5 on a web Application project in Visual Studio? I know IIS hosts this on localhost and redirects to that page. I want to understand the unseen things behind this deployment on IIS and how different it is in relative to typical publishing activity like creating a publish directory and adding a site to it in IIS as virtual directory and browsing it on local ma chine?
Because, most of the times no one cares to explain what happens on Ctrl + F5 but a lot of us use it to test our websites before publishing.
I am not asking what happens when we run by debugging and run without debugging. I want to know from Web App Standpoint what happens in-explicitly to user/Developer
