Windows Azure Tools and Visual Studio 2010

Windows Azure Tools for Visual Studio

Windows Azure Tools for Microsoft Visual Studio extend Visual Studio to enable the creation, building, configuring, debugging, running and packaging of scalable web applications and services on Windows Azure.

Windows Azure Tools for Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 – Coming Soon!

 

We’re putting the final touches on our upcoming November release of the Windows Azure Tools, SDK and cloud which will support Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2. 

 

We’re really excited about this release as not only does it support Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2, but it also adds a new UI over the service definition and configuration files, adds new template options for creating roles, improves debugging integration with the development fabric and integrates with a number of new platform features and improvements.

 

Please check back regularly for availability. In the meantime, if you have Visual Studio 2008, you can use the Microsoft Web Platform Installer 2.0 to get the Windows Azure Tools for Microsoft Visual Studio 2008.

    I installed VS2010 after installing the Azure SDK's.  The cloud add-ins do not show up in my 2010 installation (I also have 2008 installed where the cloud add-ins) do show up. Do I need to rerun the install?

    Windows Azure Tools need to be installed after Visual Studio.   You'll have to uninstall/reinstall to have the tools show up in VS. (you could do repair you if you have the MSI, but we don't ship the MSI outside of our chained installer)
