worker role: Metadata contains reference that can not be resolved.

Question

Hi,

I want to establish the connection with CRM 2011 on-premise for doing CRUD (create,read,update,delete) operation using my custom application which is hosted on azure server.But while establishing the connection ,it throwing an exception like "metadata contains reference that can not be resolved". why this is happening? please help me.

Answer 1

Windows Azure OS doesn't have same GAC like you on premise, so you have to export all of your referenced assemblies(bin deployment - mark referenced assemblies as content), that are not in current OS version your application is running at.

Try to compare your refenrences in project on this site under compare link where you upload your .csproj or .vbproj http://gacviewer.cloudapp.net/Default.aspx

Hope it helps you and its the main reason of this exception

Answer 4

Why you are using Worker role? for which purpose? Worker role is windows server without IIS, so it behaves differently.
