问题
I am trying to create a new project that uses the "Windows Phone Empty Cloud Application" template(Windows Azure Tools) in Visual Studio 2010. When creating a new project it opens a small window with instruction/readme where it says:
In Solution Explorer, right-click the Windows Azure project, point to Debug and click Start new instance. Wait for the Web role to start and click the Continue to this website (not recommended) link to be able to browse the site despite of the certificate warning.
When I do this, I get a "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" And i have not even started coding yet.... Is the template just broken or??
Any ideas?
回答1:
With Visual Studio 2013 I started running into the "object reference not set to an instance of an object" errors with Azure projects. In my cases unloading and reloading the cloud and/or role -project has helped (right click on the project, select unload from the context menu)

After trying the solution above it did not work for me.
We manage to solve the issue starting VS in Administrator mode.
That solve it

Usually it means the .cscfg configuration file is corrupt. In my situation, somehow it contained an invisible character.
Opening each .cscfg file and copy-pasting file content to Notepad and back solved the issue.
