Azure Web Role Startup Action

Question

Okay, the Startup Action option in Azure project in VS2012 is located in the WebRole Properties.

But where is it saved? Is is nowhere in the solution file. After changing the file does not appear modified.

I have to occasionally change these settings after merge, and once changed they are persistent (until the next merge/ modification outside the IDE).

Does someone know where it is saved? I can't find it. no files modified after changing this setting.

Answer 1

If there are no file changes in any of your projects, check if there is a user settings file. This will be in the same directory as the project file (.csproj, .ccproj) but will have am extension with a U in it (I'm not at a machine I can check this on).

Answer 2

it is in the service definition file (the .CSDEF)

This should be added in the file:

<Startup>
  <Task commandLine="" executionContext="elevated" taskType="simple" />
</Startup>
