PhluffyFotos does not work on Azure SDK 1.3

I have tried PhluffyFotos example on Azure SDK 1.2 and it works perfect. Today I have installed on another (clen) computer Azure SDK 1.3 and I have also want to try PhluffyFotos on it but it does not work. I have problem with this part:

        if (!Roles.GetAllRoles().Contains("Administrator"))
        {
            Roles.CreateRole("Administrator");
        开发者_StackOverflow}

It seems it somehow does not load the custom RoleProvider (TableStorageRoleProvider). Do you have any idea what it could be?

I get the following error: "The Role Manager feature has not been enabled.", because of the following exception "'System.Web.Security.Roles.ApplicationName' threw an exception of type 'System.Configuration.Provider.ProviderException'".

Can someone test this example and see what is the problem? http://phluffyfotos.codeplex.com/

Firsty I have the "SetConfigurationSettingPublisher" problem with this example, but I have successfully resole it.

EDIT:

I have look deeper into it and I am sure there are a problem with Role provider. Somehow the Roles class do not read config file. Have anyone any idea why?

I have the exact same problem with my own project. I verified with Fusion logs that the assembly which contains the custom providers dont even load. so it seems the problem is somehow related to the web.config settings being ignored.

To run PhluffyFotos example on Azure SKD 1.3 you have to the following:

1. Change reference Microsoft.WindowsAzure.StorageClient from 1.0 to 1.1

2. Move "GetConfigurationSettingValue" to the Global.asax "Application_Start" event.

3. Move Role related initialization to the Global.asax "Application_BeginRequest" event, but you have to ensure that it executes only once. Example:

   private static object gate = new object(); private static bool initialized = false;

   protected void Application_BeginRequest()
   {
       if (initialized)
       {
           return;
       }
   
   
   lock (gate)
   {
       if (!initialized)
       {
           // We need to check if this is the first launch of the app and pre-create
           // the admin role and the first user to be admin (still needs to register).
           if (!Roles.GetAllRoles().Contains("Administrator"))
           {
               Roles.CreateRole("Administrator");
           }
   
   
           if (!Roles.GetUsersInRole("Administrator").Any())
           {
               Roles.AddUserToRole(RoleEnvironment.GetConfigurationSettingValue("DefaultAdminRoleUser"), "Administrator");
           }
   
   
           initialized = true;
       }
   }
   
   
   }
   

I posted a version of the code with the fixes suggested by Peter to rapidshare here: http://rapidshare.com/files/434649379/PhluffyFotos.zip

For those who don't want to fuss around fixing the dependencies etc.
