deploy silverlight to windows azure

Question

Hello,

i have been trying to deploy an application writen in both Silverlight and C# to the windows azure platform, but so far i can't do it, the trick is that i have two projects in one .Web and .sl

the .Web i writen in silverlight and the .Sl is writen in C#, so when adding the windowsazureproject to my existing project, and trying to add a role, through Roles -->add-->Web Role Project in Solution, i only see my .Web project.

does anyone have an idea

P.S: I have already set up the Sql Azure.

Answer 1

Hi Mohamed!

your probles is the concept.

The Silverligth application is a plugin, that runs on the web.

Just upload to Azure your webrole with Silverlight plugin.

Answer 6

i actually did not, i thought you don't need them to deply an application to W.A., what i did is creat packages for the app, and then import them into the windows azure through the files browser.

Answer 7

If necessary,

Before you build the package, check that you have open endpoints to acces to app.

Answer 8

checks out that endpoint are well accessable !

the whole problem is that when browsing the provided url, for instance, insteadt of browsing myapp.cloudapp.net

the link changes to

localhost:<port Number>/<page name as it apears on the project>

which means that the string it self has an error, i checked the config files but it seems in order

Answer 9

Hi,

Do you mean you visit the httP://myapp.cloudapp.net and then link in address bar changes to localhost address? Looks like a strange problem, would you like to check if there's any code used to access localhost url or local STS? Maybe some original code causes this problem in Silverlight application.

BR,

Arwind.

Hi Arwind, Quique,

Thank you for your replies, finally i got it solved, the problem was when publishing to the cloud some DLLs were Missing :

Microsoft.WindowsAzure.CloudDrive

Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Diagnostics

Microsoft.WindowsAzure.ServiceRuntime

In the other hand i had to modify database string provided by the GUI in Windows Azure

Data Source= tcp:serve_rname.database.windows.net;User ID=user@server_name.database.windows.net;Password=password;Initial Catalog=database_namee;Trusted_Connection= false;

also i had to modify the live path of the app in the same file (web.config) and some other paths to http://myapp.cloudapp.net

and everything went just fine

thank you very much for your help
