Webcast: Running an ASP.NET MVC Web Application in Windows Azure

October 11, 2009, 11:59 am

I have seen enough people ask about running ASP.NET MVC Web Applications in Windows Azure that I thought I’d put together a short, quick webcast that shows exactly the steps you need to take.  With the further ado …



Get Microsoft Silverlight


Get Microsoft Silverlight

Before you try this yourself, make sure you satisfy the following dependencies:

For those of you that have no desire to watch a four minute video, and would rather have a quick walkthrough, here you go:

  1. Create a blank cloud services project.  Do not add any roles to the project.
  2. Add a new ASP.NET MVC Web Application to the solution.
  3. Add  the ASP.NET MVC Web Application as a web role in the cloud services project.
  4. Add the Microsoft.ServiceHosting.ServiceRuntime.dll assembly to the ASP.NET MVC Web Application.
  5. Set the following MVC assemblies to Copy Local True.
    • System.Web.Abstractions
    • System.Web.Mvc
    • System.Routing
  6. Run the application.

I hope this helps!

    Cheers!

    Excellent demo, has been the best I have seen and easy to follow. Would you consider doing another but including setting up table storage in the next one? Thanks for your help
