Windows Azure.

Most recently published a new version of Windows Azure components for Visual Studio. This update includes many changes that affect both the process of developing applications for the cloud and the process of deployment of such applications. Just below I will discuss the most significant and tangible. Full list of changes can be viewed by clicking on the following link. http://msdn. microsoft. com/en-us/library/ff683673. aspx. , You can download the update myself here at this link:. http://www. microsoft. com / web / gallery / install. aspx? appid = WindowsAzureToolsVS2010.
So, as for me for us the most pleasing feature, which added to the update - it is an additional template in Visual Studio, allowing you to create web- based ASP role. NET MVC 3.
Whereas previously we had in some form of ... NET MVC 3 application, but now it is all greatly simplified. See for yourself:.

Once a decision will be created at the output we get ready and workable ASP. NET MVC 3 project file is automatically added WebRole. cs.

Another positive bun - that's what all the MVC 3 Razor and engine assembly is automatically added to the project and copied locally. This is all before I had to do manually to deploy MVC 3 solution in the cloud.



In addition to all the web templates added to the universal service providers ASP. NET. More details about them can be found on the blog, Scott Hanselman. http://www. hanselman. ru. aspx. In a nutshell - is the replacement of obsolete providers to the session, roles and profiles, able to communicate with SQL Azure and SQL Compact.

As you can see the old providers are present on the Web. Config, but they are not active.
The latter is incredibly convenient improvement, which I write - it is possible to use several configurations of solutions for different runtime environments. For example, it is very comfortable to hold different configuration files for the developer's machine to test and Productions slots. This mechanism is somewhat similar to the transformation of the Web. Config- files that are new to ASP. NET 4. The big difference here is that in the case of cloud solutions there is no separate file with a XSLT- instructions, and for each environment is supported by a separate full-fledged configuration file.

When we decide to deploy our application we only need to be navsego select the appropriate configuration file.

As we see innovations are extremely useful for developers and can significantly simplify and speed up writing applications for Windows Azure. On top again throw the link to the download page update. http://www. microsoft. com / web / gallery / install. aspx? appid = WindowsAzureToolsVS2010. and on the MSDN page for a complete list of the latest innovations in the components of Windows Azure for VS 2010. http://msdn. microsoft. com/en-us/library/ff683673. aspx.
