I’m trying to host a very simple database on Azure and going out of my mind doing so. I’ve managed to get a local service running and communicating with my WP7 app just fine :).

I got this far by following this tutorial:
http://breathingtech.com/2011/how-to-use-wcf-services-to-access-sql-azure-database-from-windows-phone-7-app-part-1/

The tutorial provides steps to publish the service to Azure but my version of Visual Studio (2010 Professional SP1) is different and I can’t do the final bit (hosting it on Azure).

When I hit ‘publish…’ as per the tutorial I get this (what do I do next?):

Can anybody point me in the right direction please?

    Well if you want to follow that tutorial, you should right click the project, but instead of choosing Publish you should choose Package. After packaging this will open up a new Explorer window with the 2 files (the package and the cscfg).

    Then you can simply go ahead and follow the rest of the tutorial.

    Alternatively, you could simply change the environment from Staging to Production in the screen which you display in your question and click publish. This packages the application and deploys it to the selected hosted service (in your case apprehensive3months). If you do this, you won’t need to upload the files manually in the portal (as described in the tutorial).
