How to go about deployment of ASP.Net 4.5 / MVC 4 /SQL Express 2008 R2 to a Windows Azure Free Website -


i new windows azure - have been asp.net 10 years , have been deploying applications via database backup , restore on production , copy of final code bits source control root folder on production database.

i doing initial reading , finding bit difficult absorb overall process of deploying asp.net mvc web application azure.

i have managed have database , website code on azure , , running, can't terms on following points , want understand them better have regular deployment on place versions of app keep going up.

  1. database doesn't work backup local database , upload .bak file , restore production server.
  2. nor can see website files.

update: 04-aug-2013 azure websites have ftp option. can see ftp host name in respective website dashboard. username , password ftp located in publish settings file (note: got pick ftp username , password, not publish username/password. both different.

when getting ready version 2.0 of product, how database azure sql, upgrade 2.0 , put back?

i assume publishing wizard visual studio should able take care of code upgrade, how edit production web.config file on fly?

how take website offline , show users custom "offline" page when in middle of upgrade? (stopping website shows windows azure site not available page).

for database backup / upgrade questions

for migration of databases sql azure (or pulling them down) sql database migration wizard has proven lifesaver me, here:

http://sqlazuremw.codeplex.com/

this pull , push both data , schema database.

for seeing website files

you won't able if using windows azure websites.

for editing web.config on fly

you can't. -- can edit connection strings , appsettings through 'configure' tab of website so: app settings & conn strings

turning website offline during upgrade

while cannot use app_offline route without deployment. 1 thing change default document. done right in same 'configure' tab website in portal mentioned above, see here: default document

hope helps.
