.NET Web Application with SQL Azure

Developing for Windows Azure is easy using Visual Studio 2010 and the free Windows Azure SDK for .NET. If you do not already have Visual Studio 2010, the SDK will automatically install Visual Web Developer 2010 Express, so you can start developing for Windows Azure entirely for free. This guide assumes you have no prior experience using Windows Azure. On completing this guide, you will have an application that uses multiple Windows Azure resources up and running in the cloud.
You will learn:
  • How to enable your machine for Windows Azure development with a single download and install
  • How to create and modify a Visual Studio ASP.NET MVC 3 project so it can run on Windows Azure
  • How to use a SQL Azure database to store data in the cloud
  • How to deploy and update your application to Windows Azure
You will build a to-do list web application that runs in Windows Azure and stores its data in SQL Azure. The application is hosted in an instance of a Web role that, when running in the cloud, is itself hosted in a dedicated virtual machine (VM). A screenshot of the completed application is below:


 

SETTING UP THE DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENT

Before you can begin developing your Windows Azure application, you need to get the tools and set-up your development environment.
