visual studio - In Windows Azure, what file should I put storage information in for ASP.NET MVC? -

i'm toying windows azure creating asp.net mvc project, i've checked waptk (windows azure platform training kit), google, , here answers question, couldn't find answer. in asp.net mvc project, in file create containers cloud storage? (in waptk, there's hands-on lab uses webforms , puts storage containers in _default partial class.)

in asp.net mvc project, in file create containers cloud storage? (in waptk, there's hands-on lab uses webforms , puts storage containers in _default partial class.)

generally i'd recommend set container access (including create) in nicely encapsulated class - preferably hiding behind interface easy testability.

i'd recommend:

• put class , it's interface in class library (not in asp.net project)
• put config details in csdef/cscfg files
• if plan use fixed list of containers, either:
  • create these ahead of installing app - e.g. simple command line app
  • or create these call in init of global.asax
• if plan dynamically create containers (e.g. different users or actions) create these controller/service code required - e.g. when user signs or when action first performed.
• if actions might occur several times , don't know if container there or not, find way (e.g. in-memory hashtable or in-sql persistent table) ensure don't need continually call createifnotexist - remember each call createifnotexist slow app down , cost money.
• for "normal" access operations read/write/delete, these typically controller code - or service code sitting behind controller

if in doubt, think of bit "how partition logic if creating folders on local disk - or on shared network drive"

hope helps bit.
