I can't find cloud service in azure publish

Question

I did the listed steps in this page http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsazure/ff683676.aspx

I downloaded the file and import it, after that I copied the certificate path and upload it under settings/ Management certificates.

then I am trying to use the created subscription to publish the web application, in the cloud service drop down I see no service , although in management portal there is a cloud service created,

Plz help me if I missed up anything,

Answer 1

You should create a Windows Azure Project, then select Web / Worker Role. (.NET Azure SDK) PS: In case you already have a project, right-click on roles and add from existing web project.

So, you will publish this azure project to a cloud service.

Answer 2

Some cloud services can NOT be deployed to through the publish wizard in Visual Studio for a Cloud Service Project. For example, any Service that already has a VM deployed to it, and is an IAAS VM. Any empty Cloud Service or a cloud service that only has PAAS deployments would show up. Look at the list of cloud services that are available to you in you Server Explorer ->Windows Azure ->Cloud Services. Is this an empty Cloud Service? If not make an empty one blank one and you should find it in the dropdown.
