  • Article

Windows Azure Tools for Microsoft Visual Studio (includes SDK).  If the release is still propagating, try the Direct Link

New for the May 2009 CTP:

  • Support for Visual Studio 2010 Beta 1
  • Update for Visual Studio 2008
  • Improved integration with the Development Fabric and Storage services to improve the reliability of debug and run of Cloud Services from Visual Studio
  • Enhanced robustness and stability

Release notes/Known issues are available here

Visual Studio 2010 Beta 1 Support:

You can now use Visual Studio 2010 Beta 1 to build your Cloud Services.  There are a couple of interesting things to note however:

  • The Windows Azure Cloud does not yet support .Net Framework 4.0 – the tools will always create Web and Worker roles that target .Net Framework 3.5. They tools will complain if you try to build a Role project that targets .Net Framework 4.0
  • Visual Studio 2010 compatible samples are available here

Editing Role Properties

You can now use the Visual Studio Properties Window to edit some of the Role Properties like Enabling Full Trust and setting the instance count.
