We’ve just refreshed the MIX releases of the Windows Azure Tools and the Live Framework Tools. The updated versions address an issue that would cause Visual Studio to close unexpectedly if run on specific language editions of Windows (e.g., German). In addition, the Windows Azure Tools refresh includes a fix that allows targeting a different instance of SQL Server other than SQL Server Express. There’s no reason to upgrade to the new versions if you’re not affected by these issues bu ...

I've just posted an updated set of Windows Azure resources I've come across over time. While some of these sites are just getting started (and therefore don't have much content), I figured I'd include them since they seem to be targeting the Windows Azure space specifically. If I've missed any, feel free to contact me (via email or DM me on Twitter) and I'll consider them the next time I update the page. ...

We've just released the latest version of the Windows Azure SDK and the Windows Azure Tools for Microsoft Visual Studio. For the most part, we've concentrated on making things more robust, improving performance, and fixed plenty of bugs. The areas you should mostly see improvements on are: Code/Build/Run/Debug cycle Support for Silverlight debugging on Web Roles Improved Development Storage Service integration Service definition and configuration file errors are now detailed in VS Bug wh ...

While we're busy planning and working on the next release of the tools it seems a vibrant community has begun to rise around Windows Azure and other related services. It's been really fun to watch this happen as quickly as it has and with great quality. We had been working on all of this for some time eager for the PDC to arrive to see how customers and the community as a whole would respond once everything was announced and made available. It's been a couple of weeks now and there is plenty of ...

The Windows Azure Tools for Microsoft Visual Studio runs on top of either Visual Studio 2008 Standard (or above) or Visual Web Developer 2008 Express Edition. However, it requires the SP1 version of these and the installer will block if either of these are not at SP1 level with the following message: Windows Azure Tools for Microsoft Visual Studio requires Visual Studio 2008 SP1 or Visual Web Developer 2008 Express Edition SP1. If you installed pre-SP1 components after upgrading to S ...

Turns out there's a bug in the October CTP of the Windows Azure SDK having to do with user names that contain spaces. It looks like the right folks are on it at this point and it will hopefully get addressed in our next release (still figuring out our release frequency story). The best way to get around it and have everything work is to actually run under a user name without spaces. But if that's really not an option for you, you can try the following: Open up an elevated command prompt. Navig ...

Today was a great day for those of us working on the project. I feel lucky to have the opportunity to be in attendance at the PDC to watch our bits in action in several of the sessions (including the first demo of the keynote today) but also to get a chance to hang out with customers at the hands-on-lab watching them spend a couple hours going through the walkthroughs that take them through a good introduction to what's available today. It's great to see the excitement they have (and eagerness t ...

This one came up today in an internal discussion alias and reminded me of how many times I've seen people get stumped on this one and end up working around it. A lot of users have used verbatim string literals as they ease writing multi-line strings literals or for specifying paths and not having to escape the backslashes (as Andrew pointed out in the comments for this post). Here's an example: string s = @"First line ...
