Windows Azure SDK .NET development before the preparation is what, many novices are not very clear about this, in order to help you solve this problem, the following editor will explain for you in detail, people with this need can come to learn, I hope you can gain something.

Pre-development preparation for Windows Azure

What is Azure SDK for .NET? Microsoft officially tells us that Azure SDK for .NET is a suite of applications, including Visual Studio tools, command line tools, runtime binaries, and client libraries that can help you develop, test, and deploy applications that run in Azure. We can download this set of SDK from here, of course, this version is Visual Studio2013, and the older version is outside the scope of our discussion.

The default installation of Azure SDK for .NET provides the following features

Visual Studio Express for Web

-this is when you don't have Visual Studio on your computer, Azure SDK for .NET will install Visual Studio Express for Web.

Microsoft ASP.NET and Web Tools for Visual Studio

-it is obviously a tool for us to develop a Web project and publish it to the Azure website.

Microsoft Azure Tools for Microsoft Visual Studio

-it is a deployment package that provides us to create, open and publish cloud service projects and create cloud service projects. You can also view and manage tools for cloud services, virtual machines, and Service Bus resources in Server Explorer.

Microsoft Azure authoring tools

-there are mainly two command line tools: the CSPack command line tool and the CSEncrypt command line tool.

Microsoft Azure simulator

-simulate the cloud service environment so that you can test the cloud service project on your local computer before deploying it to Azure.

Microsoft Azure storage simulator

-use SQL Server instances and local file systems to simulate Azure storage space (queues, tables, Blob) for testing locally.

Microsoft Azure storage tool

-primarily the command line tool AzCopy to transfer data into and out of the Azure storage account.

Microsoft Azure Library for .NET

-some basic NuGet packages that can be used for Azure storage space, Service Bus and Caching. In fact, when we develop, we will go to NuGet to download specific feature packages.

LightSwitch Azure Publishing add-in for Visual Studio

-provides the ability to publish LightSwitch projects to Azure sites.

In our actual development project, we will also get a better client to install separately by using NuGet. These clients can be downloaded here.

If you want to have a clearer classification of these clients, you can learn from this website that the client SDK we commonly use at present are:

DocumentDB Client Library

Redis Output Cache Provider

Redis Session State Provider

Redis .NET SDK

Storage Management Library

Storage SDK

Compute Management Library

Mobile Services Client

Mobile Services .NET Backend

Cache Client

Azure SQL Database Management Library

.NET API for Hadoop

HDInsight Management Library

ExpressRoute Management Library

Traffic Manager Management Library

Azure Network Management Library

Virtual Network Management Library

Media Services Management Library

Media Services SDK

Client Side Performance Counters

Service Bus SDK

WebJobs SDK-ServiceBus Integration

Service Bus Management Library

Automation Management Library

Azure Resource Management Library

Azure Monitoring Library

Scheduler Management Library

These powerful client libraries can help us develop Azure conveniently. The ones we will use in this series are:

The characteristic of cloud development is that in addition to development tools (Visual Studio) and SDK (Azure SDK for .NET), you also need a Windows Azure subscription account. Without an account, you cannot carry out development learning. Ah, what an expensive study.

Windows Azure's China subscription can be registered and paid here. At present, you can still apply for and get a trial account here, register online and pay 1 yuan, and you can get a free credit line of up to 1500 yuan for Windows Azure usage, which is valid for one month. You need to fill out the application form here.

If you already have an account, please visit this website and log in to make sure your account is active and have sufficient balance for our development study. And you need to visit here to download your subscription file, which contains your security credentials and other information about the subscriptions you can use in the development environment, and we are about to import this file into your Visual Studio2013 development tool.

Once the release page of the subscription file is opened, it will automatically download a .publishsettings file, which is a XML file that describes your subscription information.

Before we officially begin, we need to do one last set of actions to bind our Windows Azure China subscription to our Visual Studio2013 development tool.

Currently we observe that Azure is not bound in Visual Studio2013 Server Explorer. We right-click the Azure root node, select * * manage and filter subscriptions * *, and select * * Import * * button on the * * Certificate * * page in the manage Microsoft Azure subscription window. In the import Microsoft Azure subscription window, don't rush to click to download the subscription file, but click "Browse".

Click "Browse", select your release file, and then click "Import".

When the subscription file is imported correctly, your Visual Studio2013 Server Explorer will be able to easily see that your Azure subscription has been bound.
