How do I verify the .cssx file created with CSPack Azure SDK tool?

Once I use "Build->Publish->Create Service Package Only" to pack my Azure role I get two files. One is the .cscfg - a tiny XML file with service configuration. The other is the package itself which is in fact a ZIP archive with .cspkg extension.

The .cspkg file contains the .cssx file which grows larger and larger as I add stuff into my role. So I assume that the .cssx file contains all the contents of my role, binary files included. If I open it with a viewer - it doesn't contain any recognizable patterns, just some binary content.

I want to be sure th开发者_JS百科at the package contains all the right stuff before I upload it to Windows Azure but since I can't analyze the .cssx file I can't do that. Is there a way to analyze the .cssx file to verify that it was assembled right?

Rename the [filename].cssx file to [filename].zip and use and open the file using your prefered archiving utility.

Before you can do this you need to follow some steps to disable encrypting the archive. More detailed info here
