does windows azure automatically scale up(by providing more instances), or I need to change this?
the extra small instance costs 0.05$/hour. According to Azure SLA I need to use at least 2 instances. This means 2 * $0.05*24*30=$72/month minimum. I can get on premise asp.net hosting for $5/month. Is there any offer I don't know about so I can build from the start on Azure architecture, or should I just switch to azure when I need more scaling and other servies that Azure offers because the difference in price is too high for me.
I just downloaded and installled the Microsoft Windows Azure SDK yesterday for the first time and I am having issues running the application as I all I am getting is 503 errors. I run Windows Server 2008 R2 on my development machine and even tested it on another co-workers 2008 R2 and couldn't even compile the application. He got this error instead "A problem occurred while trying to set the "References" parameter for the IDE's in-process compiler. Error HRESULT E_FAIL has been returned from a call to a COM component."
From within my Windows Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V Virtual Windows 7 x86 enviroment, I was able to successfully build and run the Windows Azure SDK and it even showed the base ASP.NET application.So my question is, does the Windows Azure SDK for Visual Studio 2010 w/ Visual Studio 2010 SP 1 installed not work under Microsoft Server 2008 R2?
This is going to be a question really for someone who has knowledge with PingIdentity and ACS, which could be pretty limited.I've got my ACS set up, all working fine and I know how to add a custom STS (PingIdentity) but I can't find any of the PingIdentity Federation MetaData (FederationMetaData.xml) to authenticate with.
Apparently our current system's workflow is such:
Us -> Our PingIdentity server -> Supplier -> Supplier's PingIdentity server -> Route token back to us.
Would I have to use our local PingIdentity Federation MetaData as the STS in order to achieve what I'm looking for (same scenario, but with ACS)? And where can I find this?
I've currently got Windows Azure AppFabric system set up and running with my own registered Namespace, in which uses the Google/Yahoo/Windows Live STS providers. That all works fine, I can use them and login to my application. Easy.
However, I can't find anything in any way useful on the web that related to adding my own STS to this list from a 3rd party supplier. I've read that it's possible, and it's the last hurdle I'm stuck on here - replacing the Google/Yahoo/Windows Live STS with the ones I need my application to authenticate with. I cannot find anywhere in the STS control panel to allow for this (AppFabric Labs).
I'm migrating an ASP .NET 2.0 WebSite to WebRole (ASP.NET 4.0 and VS2010). After created new web role, I moved all files and folders from website to WebRole then reference all needed dlls. I build and run web role stand alone and everything ok without problems. But when I build and run WindowsAzureProject, below errors come up
[fabric] Role state Stopping [fabric] Role state Stopped [fabric] Role state Aborted [fabric] Role state Teardown [fabric] Role state Destroyed [runtime] Role entrypoint could not be created: System.Reflection.ReflectionTypeLoadException: Unable to load one or more of the requested types. Retrieve the LoaderExceptions property for more information. at System.Reflection.RuntimeModule.GetTypes(RuntimeModule module) at System.Reflection.Assembly.GetTypes() at Microsoft.WindowsAzure.ServiceRuntime.RoleEnvironment.CreateRoleEntryPoint(RoleType roleTypeEnum) at Microsoft.WindowsAzure.ServiceRuntime.RoleEnvironment.InitializeRoleInternal(RoleType roleTypeEnum)
and the status "Operation was canceled" It takes me days to resolve but nothing found. I did set "Copy local" to true for all reference dlls but it doesn't effect also. I've just thought spring.core and spring.aop caused the error but I don't know how to debug and catching where it crash
I have written an web application in VS2010 ASP.net C#, to display Crystal reports. I moved this application to Azure Emulator. It was working fine locally. However after deploying it with Azure, crystal report is not getting displayed and not even an exception is thrown.

My current ASP.NET site requires to launch FFMPEG.EXE to convert uploaded videos. With shared web hosting server, can't be done but via a Virtual Private Server (VPS) or a dedicated server.
I've been reading some info about Windows Azure but haven't found any info regarding:
1. Be able to launch external executable
2. Be able to remote desktop into the allocated virtual machines
We have a Web Role that we are hosting in Windows Azure that uses an old ASMX based Web Reference to contact an external system. The Web Reference proxy code is big enough that instantiating it the first time has a significant cost.
We'd like to be able to have this run when the Web Role starts instead of on the first request.
I know IIS 7.5 has an Application Warm-Up module that would allow us to achieve this, but I'm having trouble figuring out if something similar exists with hosting on Windows Azure.
we have a web application that one company prepared for us. this application read connection string from registery key in hkey_local_machine and connect to sql server 2005 database.

I have a Silverlight/RIA application that worked fine locally and on my IIS 7 server. Now that I've moved it to Azure, I'm getting EndpointNotFoundExceptions.

ive seen the solution for wcf services here [URL] but im not sure if this is also applicable for ria services
In one of our ASP.NET Web site solutions I need to roll out an update that might take reasonable time. It spawns multiple Windows Azure Workers and projects and so simple Deployment Swap is ruled out.
Essentially I'm just thinking about way to redirect all web requests to a "site is under maintenance" page for some time, given the project is under Windows Azure.
I'm aware of the app-offline.htm trick with IIS, but I doubt that Azure Web Role will allow this one to be deployed or run (it spins down the app domain).
I am using master page with content pages. I want to write a genral method to clear textboxes and for dropdownlist set index to 0. Please guide on this.
I'm searching for some extension methods that helps programming in ASP.NET. Some functions to work on controls, validators, AJAX or programing in C# in general.It could be methods library or your own methods.Do you know any source of those methods (other than CodePlex - that is good source of generic extensions) especially for ASP.NET?

I'm making a visitor management application and I made three tables namely tblStudent,tblEmployee and tblVolunteer in SQL.I made a table according to the categories of a visitor.Do I still need to make a tblVisitor that would be the "general" table for the three tables made?I'm really confused whether it's needed or not to make a table to join similar attributes of student,employee and volunteer.
i have some web site with one page call genPage.aspx for all regular site pages, the title and the content of the page is changing by the pageId on the url (queryString). All the page looks the same (title, content and images and the same structure)im want to add contact form to the page with the pageId=7 only and dont have idea how to do this. (i know in classic asp it was : <if pageId = 7> html code and then <end if> but in asp.net i cant find the way. [Code]....
I have a web app that presents a list of statements pulled from the db to be ranked from "Never" to "Always" using a radioButtonList.
Some of the assessments have up to 100 statements, so I'm thinking that a ListView with paging and a RequiredFieldValidator for the radioButtonList would keep the presentation manageable.
I would like to submit the data after all of the pages are complete but I think that would require customization, or is my approach wrong?
I have a web service that I developed on my local machine using the Enterprise Library for database access and exception logging. This all works fine on my machine but not on my server. I get the following error and i do not know why. Tracing to LogSource 'General' failed. Processing for other sources will continue. See summary information below for more information. Should this problem persist, stop the service and check the configuration file(s) for possible error(s) in the configuration of the categories and sinks. I do not see any errors in the configuration. I can get it to log to a flat file but not to the event log or an email it is to send. This is on a Windows Server 2008. Is there any special permissions I need to set? I hope this is the correct place to post a message such as this, if not let me know where to post it to.
