Dec2011 Platform Training Kit - Azure Drive Lab issue

Question

I am working my way through the Azure Drive lab and I get to the point where I deploy it into azure.  What I am supposed to be able to do is click on the DNS name and see a list of pictures.  Instead I get an error:

[DirectoryNotFoundException: Could not find a part of the path 'd:\windows\system32\inetsrv\%PUBLIC%\Pictures\Sample Pictures\'.]

IN the web.config file of my web project, I have this path set based on when I was running this sample in dev fabric.  However, I don't think my Azure image has this same drive structure.

What is this image store path supposed to be set to when I deploy to Azure?

Hi,

From my experience, to use Drive, we cannot hard code an absolute path. I would like to suggest you to use the CloudDrive.Mount method to mount the drive. It will give us a dynamically generated path (possibly not D:\...). Then we will need to use that path as the root of our drive. The training course has actually pointed this out: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/wazplatformtrainingcourse_exploringwindowsazurestoragevs2010_topic5#_Toc310346241
