If I try to get WebRole.x value it is 0, even though it was initialized to 5 in the OnStart method. How is this possible?

What are you trying to accomplish? Just checking as there may be a better method in windows azure.

And I'm only theorizing here, but I'm guessing that when you go to retrieve the value, you're actually getting a new copy of the object that resides in a seperate process. As such, the value of the object instance that you set during role startup isn't accessible.

A static field does not belong to the instance of the object. Remove static.
