Part of my application includes a "chat" system. I maintain a queue for each user.

The system is very simple, works well, and does ...

I'm writing a WPF test application against a WCF REST service running on Azure local development fabric with a custom Basic Authentication provider. When the test client makes a call, using either WebClient or HttpWebRequest, it passes the authorization header and the custom provider authenticates it. The service then receives the same ...
I just ran the Visual Studio 2010 Thread Profiler against my Azure code and noticed I'm getting a LOT of contentions. My code is blocked more often than it is running! My worker has no custom threading logic in it at all. It is a simple While loop which asks various queues if they have work. I make an instance of the QueueRepositoryClas...

Hi all, Sorry if I get any of the terminology wrong here, but hopefully you will get what I mean. I am using Windows Azure Cloud Storage to store a vast quantity of small files (images, 20Kb each). At the minute, these files are all stored in the root directory. I understand it's not a normal file system, so maybe root isn't the corr...

I have an app that I'm thinking about moving to Azure as a Worker Role with an external facing endpoint. It's a small little process that runs in about 200-400ms, but our users would like to start running the little job 50K-100K times a day, per user. Before I go building the Azure prototype, I need to figure out what kind of latency I c...

Hi, I toyed around with Azure in January this year and though it looked great in theory, I wasn't even able to deploy a simple dummy application due to various bugs I encountered. I'd like to have another look, however I don't want to spend another two days in vain. If you have recently tried Azure, I would be interested to hear about...

SQL Azure does not support SQL Server's Full Text Search feature. Does this mean a text field cannot be indexed to handle substring searches? For example, if I have a table Emails, with a Message column And I want to find all messages with both the words 'hello' and 'thanks' in them, will the standard index on the message collumn allow ...
