I created my own extension library for Windows Azures Table Storage that supports distributed

  • 0

I created my own extension library for Windows Azures Table Storage that supports distributed transactions across entity groups, queues and blobs. The library works in a Web Role instance but in terms of neatness I would like to put my library into it’s own project and then have my web roles and worker roles import this library. The problem I am having is that I can’t get the independant project to recognize

Imports Microsoft.WindowsAzure
Imports Microsoft.WindowsAzure.StorageClient

I have referenced the associated dll

C:\Program Files\Windows Azure SDK\v1.6\bin\Microsoft.WindowsAzure.StorageClient.dll

but still no luck.

So does anyone know how to create their own Azure extender library in a console project that’s not in some sort of role?

    To add a reference to the compiled library (and get those imports to work) you would follow these steps:

    1. In Solution Explorer, right-click on the project node and click Add
      Reference.

    2. In the Add Reference dialog box, select the tab indicating the type
      of component you want to reference.

    3. Select the components you want to reference, then click OK.

    This documentation references how you would link any library to your project: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/wkze6zky(v=vs.80).aspx

    EDIT:

    Answer from RyanFishman:

    The problem was the target platform which needs to be .net framework 4 instead of .net framework 4 client. Same reason why you couldn’t reference System.web in a console application. Instruction on how to set target platform can be found in this link. msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb398202.aspx – RyanFishman
