I am trying to migrate large data that is required for our website hosted on Azure to access. The data amounts to about 7GB. After reading few forums, I have come to know that SQL Azure BLOB Storage can do the trick for me. how we can store data in SQL Azure BLOB Storage and access it? At first I want to try to store a Test.txt file in the BLOB and access the contents of this file from our website and display it.

I have a Azure worker role that needs to use the cache in AppFabric. When run locally (Win7x64,VS2010) pointing at the cache in the cloud, it works fine.When I deploy the same package to the cloud (again pointing at the same cache), it produces the following exception:
Message: The type initializer for 'Microsoft.ApplicationServer.Caching.DataCacheClientLogManager' threw an exception.
Exception Type: TypeInitializationException
StackTrace: Microsoft.ApplicationServer.Caching.DataCacheClientLogManager.Initialize(DataCacheLogSink logSink)
at Microsoft.ApplicationServer.Caching.DataCacheFactoryConfiguration.Initialize(String clientName)
at CommunicationRole.CacheUtil.GetCache()
Having looked at the code, this is happening when this line of code is hit:
Dim configuration As New DataCacheFactoryConfiguration()
Nothing runs after this line is hit. As I've said, the configs between local and cloud are the same. I use the cache with the credentials as a session state provider in a web deployment so I believe the cache and access to it are good.My build machine has the November 2011 release of the Azure SDK, and Azure AppFabric SDK 1.5 installed.
The method to get the cache is as follows:
Imports System.IO
Imports Microsoft.WindowsAzure
Imports Microsoft.WindowsAzure.ServiceRuntime

when i draw the rectangle, the moment the container refreshes itself i lose my shape or if i run the app in full screen and then into normal window mode the shape either gets clipped or deleted. I would like to create a grahpics container to always keep the shape 'alive'.
So I create the model container:
Private mdbContext As PFModelContainer
Private mdbTransactions As Object
Before I did it this way:
Private mdbContext As New PFModelContainer
Private mdbTransactions As mdbContext.Transactions
Thinking maybe I was doing something wrong I changed it over to the first way, then I do:
Public Sub New()
mdbContext = New PFModelContainer
mdbTransactions = mdbContext.Transactions
End Sub
Once I hit mdbContext = New PFModelContainer it takes me over to the PFModel.Designer.vb Where it steps through the following:
Public Sub New()
MyBase.New("name=PFModelContainer", "PFModelContainer")
At which point it terminates execution of the code. This is the error it gives me on the Immediate window:
A first chance exception of type 'System.ArgumentException' occurred
in System.Data.Entity.dll
Is there something I can do to make this error go away? I tried deleting the project and recreating it with my old .edmx model that I downloaded from Mozy from when it used to work. It stopped working (as far as I can tell) after I changed the .edmx model and updated it. Maybe I did something else in the other project too, but I'm not recalling anything.This is what is in the app.config:
<connectionStrings>
<add name="PFModelContainer" connectionString="metadata=res://*/PFModel.csdl|res://*/PFModel.ssdl|res://*/PFModel.msl;provider=System.Data.SqlServerCe.3.5;provider connection string="Data Source=|DataDirectory|inDebugMyDatabase#1.sdf"" providerName="System.Data.EntityClient" />
</connectionStrings>
Should I be referencing System.Data.EntityClient and System.Data.SqlServerCe.3.5 somewhere?The EDMX property Entity Container Name is PFModelContainer and the Namespace is PFModel.
I'm using the Azure ACS, and I've been looking for away to get the email and name from the SAML 2.0 response or something.But I dont see any options for it, I redirect the user to localhost:8000/acc/completesigninup/.There I have the XML from the FormCollection object, I see the Email and Name in the xml but I'm not sure how to get it. Is there a parser that's included in the Identity dll to get that info?
View 2 RepliesI have an ASP.NET in VB code base that if I open in Visual Studio as an existing website works and tests just fine. I have followed many tutorials for porting this over to Azure: -Tried create new Azure project add a webrole and drag and drop project files into the new webrole, but I get about 300 reference/missing stuff/etc errors -I have also tried creating an azure project under the website solution but the option to add the website to the webrole by clicking "web role project in solution" is disabled/grayed out I have been able to make the configuration files and compile through the command line but this does not work with visual studio so I am unable to test before deploying into staging

I'm trying to host some static files for access by an ASP.Net web role and a separate data worker role that are both running on the same deployment (they use a global static interface).
However, I'm unsure how exactly to 'host' them, I've tried using virtual folders via HttpRuntime.AppDomainAppPath, but it only occasionally works in debug mode. The files also don't seem to get packaged into the deployment packages made by VS vis CSPack (though this might be a separate issue, is it possible to fix this too?)
The static files in question are actually WordNet, which I'm using through WordNet.Net, If that makes any difference. I also need the solution to work in both the cloud deployment and the emulator (if possible).
I am trying to access the private key of a certificate I uploded to Windows azure do do decryption. I used a code similar to this post: Using DotNetOpenAuth OAuth 2 with Azure - Reading Certificate - difficulty extracting keys. Andrew Arnott provided an answer to what post referencing this link:[URL].. However I cannot access it so I am not sure what is the solution.
Essentially when try to cast the private key of a certificate as a RSACryptoProvider. I get nothing:
Dim provider As RSACryptoServiceProvider = DirectCast(certificate.PrivateKey, RSACryptoServiceProvider)
That is provider is assigned nothing. The code works perfectly outside of Azure.
I am struggling to send parameters to a VB.NET WS(web service) that is hosted on Windows Azure. Getting a simple hello world (no parameters) works fine, but for some reason my parameters on the web service side are null? Web service function to be called (IService1.vb):

Function GetAddition(ByVal number1 As Integer, ByVal number2 As Integer) As String

I would like to create a split container with a three way split. The first split is a vertical split. The second is creating a horizontal split within panel2 of the first split container. panel1 will hold a treeview control the other two panels will hold listview controls
I think this question has been asked already in a couple different ways and I've reviewed those posts and I've tried to do what was suggested but it doesn't seem to work for me. I've tried to place a second split container inside panel2 of the first split containter. This gave me what appeared to be a three way vertical split.
There is any container for vb.net like the map in c++?

View 7 RepliesThis is more of a ASP.NET question, but we are using VB.NET so it might be relevant. We just recently upgraded an ASP.NET 1.1 project to 4.0.Once we started running through the app to regression test it, we found that (consistently) if we made a call like DataBinder.Eval(Container, "PropertyName") from a User Control, ASP.NET complained that it could not find the PropertyName on the page.
PropertyName *does* exist on the User Control, but not on the page.This worked up until we upgraded to 4.0.The fix we found was instead of using "Container", we used "Me" to reference the control that the code was being called on.
start a desktop app. make the form 1- MDI Container = True. 2- Right to Left = True , 3- change the Right to left Layout = True.Set the background to any jpg image, when you run the form, the backgroud disappears.
View 3 RepliesVB 6.0 had a Set Pixel function, which is not available in VB.net. using a draw ellipse function with parameters specifying a circle one pixel in diameter.The above is painfully slow.I have been drawing graphics in a Bit Map using a Set Pixel function & then copying the entire graphic from Bit Map to a Picture Box. This results in nothing seeming to happen for several seconds & then the entire graphic is displayed in the Picture Box.
The above does the job, but it would be nice to display the graphic as it is being generated pixel by pixel, which was possible using VB 6.0, Might there be a Windows 7 API which would set a pixel? Might Microsoft be considering a Set Pixel function for Picture Box graphics?

In my program, I want the user to be able to move an MDI child window anywhere inside the MDI container but I need it to be kept completely inside the container boundary. For example, the upper left corner should never be at a location less than 0,0 when moved left or up. Currently, if I slide the child window too far left, it extends outside of the MDI container window and the MDI container shows the bottom scroll bar.
Is there a way to prevent the child window from moving outside of the boundaries of the container window? I tried adding code to the .move (see below) so that if the new location was less than 0,0 then it reset it to 0,0 but then the child window controls flicker as the window is moved beyond 0,0 and the logic moves it back to 0,0. It appears that even though the code changes the location to 0,0 and the window shows the child moved to 0,0, when the mouse moves again, the window jump back to its unmoved location.
