Here
and here it is written how to convert a standard WCF Service to Windows Azure. It is written, that after right-click you will have an option to "Add Windows Azure Deployment Project". But still I do not see it in Visual Studio in my project after right-click at the WCF Application project.
This is the screenshot:
What is wrong? How to deploy it in Windows Azure?
As I told you in the other post this should normally work. But since it does not I propose copying over your WCF interfaces, classes and configurations to a brand new WCF Service Role project. Then you will be able to publish it to Windows Azure directly without any problems.
Please check the following link Code Quick Start: Create and deploy a WCF service in Windows Azure

I created a web service in C#, using Visual Studio 2010 ( Framework .NET 3.5). In debug mode it works great, but now I must publish it on the internet, so that I can consume it in remote (the app that will consume the web service is an android app).
So the question is: how do I publish my web service on Internet so that I can consume it in remote?
Thanks in advance; this is a work for taking my degree!
A simple way: you switch to release mode, update your web.config for production, right click on your service project and from the menu select publish. Then you publish it to the local folder. This way it copies only the files needed. Then you copy the contents of the folder to your remote site using ftp, for example, your hosting provider should have given you the credentials.
for some hosters it is also possible to publish directly but I don't use this.
This is my first time trying to develop a windows azure application on my visual studio 2010.
what I have done so far is:
Open new project > C# > Cloud.
Downloaded the SDK.
Add new class with code that only displays my name and age.
try to run this code locally and failed!
My questions is:
am I able to run the application locally? if yes the how?
How can I deploy the application? (I already have an account)
Well for what I see your problem is not your windows azure sdk, the thing is that you are creating a WorkerRole project which is a Class Library type and that won't give you an output, for that you need to create a WebRole project.
here I let you this tutorial, it would show you how to create your first WebRole project.

And this one would show you how to deploy on the cloud

What type of application are you trying to build? Your error is because you are trying to run a class library, which isn't an executable.
There are primarily two types of applications that are hosted in Azure:
Website - These are just standard ASP.NET WebForms or MVC projects, hosted on Azure. These are the easiest to get going, and with the latest Azure release, require nothing special. Simply create a Web project, and git deploy to your Azure Web Site
Worker Role - Worker roles are usually for background tasks like performing computations, sending emails, distributing work, etc. These can effectively be thought of as console applications that never end.
For example:
while(true)
{
// do work here
Thread.Sleep(5000);
}
When developing Azure applications, you need to either create a website (WebForms, MVC, WebAPI), a WCF service, or a console application to run as a background worker. Once you've built the application locally, then you can add an Azure Cloud project, which will handle the actual deployments.
Yes, you can run your application locally: Select the Azure application project in the Solution Explorer, right click, "Set as StartupUp Project" and run
To Publish: goto https://manage.windowsazure.com/ . Create a new web role and download the publishing settings.
I am new to wcf. I have developped a wcf service application(not a library). Can someone tell me how to deploy it other than iis. And how to access the service as a webservice. is this possible and how?
This link has an example that shows how to deploy a WCF-service as a servicehost application.
This means it runs as a service and does not need to be deployed to an IIS-instance.
There is an automatic WCF deploy tool in Visual Studio or copy the code to the server.
The server will be access like through a website like http://localhost:2342342432342/YourWebService.Svc.
You have to get the references from the WS using a tool that generates all the classes for you and you use that service's classes to write your code.
If your intention is to deploy to to a server that does not use IIS for hosting, you could look at an alternative hosting application like Cassini.
After creating a Azure Project within my silverlight app and adding the existing service as a "Add Web Role Project in Solution" I can run my silverlight app hosted in the Cloud and run it successfully locally.
I would like to use the SDK Toolkit instead of Visual Studio to create a package from the webrole. But what is the correct path to the WebRole?
In order to create a package, you shouldn't need to know where your local role runs. You should only need the service definition file and the binaries/files.
See the cspack cmdline:

You can also use msbuild to create a package:

Also, this is a good starting point:

Let me know if I mis-understood what you're trying to ultimately accomplish.
I'm new to Windows Azure and I'm trying to deploy my web application to Windows Azure.
In my app I used some web services, now I would like to know how can I build them in windows azure and include that web reference in my web app?
Some tutorials said that I have to import my current web service into a Cloud Service Project as a WebRole but in my web serivce folder, there's no csproj file.
Thanks!
I found out that I just have to create a new Window Azure Project and add a WCF Service Web Role, copy my old files in the old Web Service (maybe change a little bit if it's ASMX) then host it the same way as web application. And voila, everything is ok now :)
I think you should use a WebRole for a web service, but you can use a WorkerRole though.
Take a look on this:
