I am guessing it is creating a second .csfg file, but the config thing is hardwired into the Azure project type so I'm not really sure. For example, if I wish staging and live to point at different sql-azure databases, how do I go about it? Thanks ...
I've developed a simple system using ASP.NET MVC and WCF for customers to register software and get a license key. I was thinking about using Windows Azure instead of a traditional web hosting because it seems easy to use. I'd only need one SQL database and one small VM, but I'm confused about the billing. Does the billing only charge ...
