The error is from the RDRuntimeLoader.exe and says that ”Windows i trying to identify the problem…”. Is your Windows Azure Application crashing when you hit F5? This is the reason: Dramatic title and intro huh? ;~) I just wanted to get your attention on this completely understandable but yet annoying error you get when you try to launch an Azure App in the Development Fabric. Symptoms: This is what the error looks like.   All the while your Visual Studio completely hangs and nothing responds. After the time out time which is about 30 seconds...

The third and final post in our blog series on basic usage of the Cloud Storage API (CloudStorage.API). This time we will show how to interact with the Cloud Entity Storage. The implementation we use for the API is developed against Azure but the API should be reusable for any type of Cloud Storage. While doing this our main goals are to: Enable testability Abstract away storage Create an extensible and easy to evolve application that supports good developments practices Here are other posts...

We continue our blog series on using the Cloud Storage API (CloudStorage.API) by showing how it interacts with Cloud Blob Storage. As in the previous post we will use a short example focusing on basic usage. The implementation we use for the API is developed against Azure but the API should be reusable for any type of Cloud Storage. While doing this our main goals are to: Enable testability Abstract away storage Create an extensible and easy to evolve application that supports good developments practices ...

Today I did a seminar with msdn.se. I was on stage with Johan Lindfors and Robert Folkesson talking about Windows Azure devlopment. I was asked to produce my slides so in an effort to please the crowd here they are. Several of them are copies of slides from Steve Marx, Manuvir Das and Brad Calder. This is my angle on their work so to say, thanks guys. DevelopmentOnWindowsAzure.pdf (First three slides are in Swedish but not the rest.) Cheers, M.

Now that you have an understanding of the idea behind the Cloud Storage API it’s time to show it in action. We will start by writing a simple application accessing the Message Queue using the API. Note: Premier time for a guest blogger at Techie.notepad! WooHoo! Peter von Lochow is the man behind this post. The implementation we use for the API is developed against Azure but the API should be reusable for any type of Cloud. While doing this our main goals (just to reiterate) are: Enable testability Abstract...

The ultimate goal for this API is to enable Cloud Storage Persistence Ignorance. A secondary, and almost equally important, objective for creating this API is to enable testability and thus enhance the over all maintainability of Cloud Applications that make use of Cloud Storage also generally thought of as “shared state”. We have been doing this work on the Windows Azure cloud but in theory this API may be used on any Cloud Storage. Note: We have created a Cloud Storage API at the consultancy where I work, Dotway. Me and a great colleague Peter von Lochow have been...

The Common Service Locator project has a bunch of adapters. One of them is the one for Managed Extensibility Framework (MEF). I’ve updated the adapter to run on MEF Preview 6 and uploaded the result to the Codeplex site for the CSL. Common Service Locator MEF adapter Note: I’ve been nagging on Glenn Block to update the adaptor project that hooks up MEF to the Common Service Locator. Not so much nagging on him to do it, the man has enough to do, but rather nagging on him to add med as a developer on the CSL project...
