Hi I have created a new azure project with a worker role and have noticed a class WorkerRole.cs. I tried researching on what it’s purpose is however I couldn’t find a straight answer.
The goal of the WorkerRole.cs is to give you an entry point to execute “something” when the Worker Role instance starts. This could be a command line application you’re starting, or a WCF service, or MySQL, … anything you want.
Note that you’ll need to write code to keep the instance ‘alive’. If you don’t do this, it will restart when the Run method completes. Take a look at the following question for more information: Using Thread.Sleep or Timer in Azure worker role in .NET?
