Download a Windows Azure project from the gallery in Visual Studio 2012

I have a Windows Azure website. I started this website as a new one → Calculate → Website → From Gallery. Once I chose Orchard CMS here. My site is successfully working in Windows Azure. My task is that I want to make some adjustments.

How do I get this code in my local instance of Visual Studio 2012 so that I can:

  • Make settings to the site using Visual Studio 2012.
  • Check it out for initial control so that others in my team can work on it.

I saw the following message: http://www.davidhayden.me/blog/installing-orchard-cms-as-an-azure-web-site . However, this only speaks of opening a site in WebMatrix. I want to skip WebMatrix and go to Visual Studio if possible.

You do not need to use WebMatrix at all; another option is to simply upload files from FTP, and then create a VS solution and add the files you downloaded.

From Visual Studio, you can easily deploy the solution for TFS on your azure website.

As an additional note, from today (January 28, 2014) registry editing proposed by SilverNinja is no longer required, I was able to open VS 2013 Professional from Webmatrix without editing the registry.

Download WebMatrix and click the Visual Studio button on the ribbon . He must create a solution file to access your website through Visual Studio. At the moment, I do not have an Azure website to try it out.

You may need to configure the registry to open VS 2012 properly :

  • Type regedit and select HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT .
  • Locate VisualStudio.DTE and change the value of CurVer to VisualStudio.DTE.11.0
  • Finally, change the CLSID value to {059618E6-4639-4D1A-A248-1384E368D5C3}
