We had previously been referring to our Windows Azure libraries via the SDK and I noticed that they have NuGet packages for them now. This is obviously way better, so I’m swapping out all of those references for the NuGet packages.
However, I can’t find a NuGet package for Microsoft.WindowsAzure.ServiceRuntime.dll that contains classes such as RoleEnvironment, etc.
Are we supposed to be referencing this dll from the SDK installation and not a nuget package? That seems extremely odd. Am I just not seeing the package for this assembly?
I’ve now installed all of the “windowsazureofficial” tagged packages (just temporarily) and none of them seem to have the correct reference!
The latest Windows Azure SDK is 1.7 so If you need updated Microsoft.WindowsAzure.ServiceRuntime you would have to manually install the SDK in your machine and add those references to your role.
