Does anyone know if its possible to call aspnet_compiler from an azure role startup task to force a precompilation inplace. (And if so as a foregroudn/background or simple task?) Perhaps something like: %windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\aspnet_precompile.exe -v / -p "F:\siteroot\0" Or are there any better ways to accomplish this? sharptooth Yes, that should work once you figure out the right path to the compiler although I haven't tried this specific approach. An alternative I've tried is to use ClientBuildManager.PrecompileApplication as described in this answer . I tried calling

Simple question but lots of meaning/discussion behind!!! Is it possible to have the Windows Azure emulator open the browser to a URL other than 127.0.0.1 and port 81?

I'm looking for the function to verify if the user logged belongs to a role. is maybe the following? pageContext.request.userPrincipal.roles How should I use it properly along with JSTL to test if the user belong to ADMIN group? You can use Method expression ' request.isUserInRole ' in JSP to check whether current authenticated user has a role. Test this: <c:if test="${not empty pageContext.request.userPrincipal}"> <c:if test="${pageContext.request.isUserInRole('ADMIN')}"> User ${pageContext.request.userPrincipal.name} in ADMIN Group </c:if> </c:if> Note that : Calling method with/without

Im really new to Windows Azure development and have a requirement to store some data in a windows azure storage table. This table will really only exist to provide a quick lookup mechanism to some files which are located on azure storage drive. Therefore I was planning on populating this table at application start up (ie in web application global application start up) Rather than trying to maintain this table for changes the changes that could occur to the drive while the application is not running. Or as this drive is just a vhd of resources, we may well occasionally upload a new vhd. So
