Hi,
First set of Azure function apps so please bear with. :-)
Is it correct to add my SQL database connection string in the Azure function app configuration for production and in local.settings.json for my development/debugging?
If so then is this the correct format in that file?
How do I read this value and also my other values (Limit, offset etc) which used to be <appSettings> in the original Console app?
How do I read these in my C# code? I have read that I need to use Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable, however this returns null
string pagerduty = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("PagerDuty");
log.LogInformation(pagerduty);
Is there a way to keep the function app configuration (in portal) and the local settings in sync?
At present I only have two Azure functions in my project which is defined as the startup project. I have set a breakpoint in each
but only the first function (alphabetically) is hit, how can I test the second function (GetTeams)?
Here are some screenshots that will help explain better.
Thanks
Is it possible for you to let me know what kind of Function app you created?
At the moment there are 2 ways of creating an Azure function project using Visual Studio - In-Process & Isolated Process. Which type have you followed?
Hi,
It's a timer trigger function app, created in VS2022 (preview). I'm not sure as to the "process" question, there was nothing in the
wizard options unless I missed it. How would I check?
Thanks
put it together with other app settings under Values: Load Connection String from Config File in Azure Functions.
Thanks, that works just fine.
Does anyone know the answer to this

Here is how you need to look at things when developing with Azure Functions.
The Project that you create is technically known as a FunctionApp. That is like a container which houses all your functions.
You can create different type of functions. The basic type being an HTTP trigger based. That means your function is invoked when there is a HTTP request to your function.
We also have timer based function i.e. the trigger for your function to be invoked is a timer and you set the timer pattern (every hour or every day etc).
If your second function is an HTTP triggered function then you need to issue a HTTP request to your function.
When you start your project - you will normally see a console window come up and it will spit out the URI for your HTTP triggered functions.
For e.g. when run locally this will be as below
Notice the line where it says Function1. That is the name of my function and it shows [GET,POST] which is the Http verb the HTTP triggered function supports. And an URI - HTTP://localhost:7071/api/Function1.
Now that I know the URI to my function, I will use any rest clients like Postman or insomnia or whatever - and issue a HTTP GET request to the URI. Keep your visual studio in running state for your project and your breakpoint will be hit
Hope this helps.
Ping me if you need help with Az Fx (kashyapa78@Karima ben .com)
"AzureWebJobs.myFunction.Disabled": "1",
Was just this in the local.settings.json to enable/disable individual functions locally.
Hi. I created a video which explains how to read application settings in your function app. Do have a look at the video here: https://dotnetrumbles.wordpress.com/2022/01/11/reading-application-settings-in-azure-function-application/
