Demo application on Windows Azure Platform?

I need a demo application to demonstrate about Windows Azure Platform. I tried myTODO project , but because it's not 开发者_开发问答updated since Aug/2009, it cannot work properly (even after installing and configuring all needed components) .

Very appreciated if you can suggest me an open-source, free project build for Windows Azure Platform, which can run smoothly with VS 2008. This project should not be too simple or too complicated. myTODO's size is the best. C# source code is preferred.

Thank you very much, this question is urgent.

Here's the project done by students. It might work out as a good sample.

Sqwarea, open source game on Windows Azure

This project aim to be an in-browser, minimalistic, massively multiplayer strategy game. It is done as a part of the "Génie logiciel et Cloud Computing" course at the Ens.

In the game you are a King battling over a gigantic map to conquer the world. Train soldiers, conquer new territories, and resist the assault from other kingdoms. You can read the rules here.

It is a massively multiplayer online game: all the players are on the same map, which is an infinite 2D square matrix.

Sqwarea is developed using Microsoft.NET technologies (Visual C#, ASP.NET MVC...) and will be hosted using the Windows Azure cloud services in order to be scalable.

I recently read an article in MSDN and Visual Studio magazines that walked through a basic Azure project. Try

Hope that helps...

The samples shipped with the Windows Azure SDK (1.1) should work fine. They're compressed in a zip file.

However please note that Windows Azure SDK only runs on Vista SP1, Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008.

I like the guestbook demo at Windows Azure Platform Training Kit, its easy and runs right out of the box, you can download the training kit at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=413e88f8-5966-4a83-b309-53b7b77edf78&displaylang=en
