Windows Azure: Settings Are Settings Are Settings..? Maybe Not!
So I’m back from Oz and have been tinkering with a small worker role app that grabs my Twitter feed and aggregates how many posts my friends have been doing as a scoreboard (I’ll post that tomorrow). One of the design decisions I’ve had to make has been where to store the configuration settings
Windows Azure – Accessing the Request.Url Property!
So I’ve blogged previously about a known issue regarding port translation/mapping in Windows Azure , and today (well, today and a few weeks ago) I came across an interesting side effect of this issue when accessing the Request.Url property within a Windows Azure web role. Now, anytime you access the HttpContext.Request . Url property (or any derivation of that), you will be unknowingly getting some extra info you may not want
So with the new release of our SDK and VS Tools and the recent release of Windows 7 Beta , some folks may have tried to run one on the other… Well, in case you have and are wondering why some parts don’t work, or in case you haven’t and were thinking of trying to, or haven’t and were thinking you might look good in mauve stretchy velour pants (like I did that one time at last years MSFT Christmas party), I have some info for you. First, there is an issue with running the SDK (not the tools) on Windows 7 Beta.
So I’ve had a couple of questions about hosting web services (SOAP style services in the form of *.aspx pages in a Web Role or *.svc files in the form of WCF services) in Windows Azure, specifically, how to get them to work? Now, as I’ve mentioned before , Windows Azure uses a design where the executing environment that your hosted service is running in is actually just a pre-configured VM running Windows Server 2008 x64 with .NET 3.5 Fx installed amongst other things. So technically, running an ASP.NET web service or a WCF service should be nothing more than adding the required components (pages) to your web role
