Just want to know that I have my ASP.NET MVC application and related SQL Server database. I have signed up for a free Azure account.
I want to know if I can publish my app and database to Azure with this free account. The purpose of that, I want to check how the things are working properly and also since I working from home, selected user's want to see the progress of my project.
you need to have paid subscription for SQL server feature. Try finding SQL server express also know that SQL server will separately require you to pay SQL server license key. I would suggest to look into free SQL server hosting accounts instead of directly using Azure SQL server.

I am working on a project to replicate an application that currently runs on premises to an Azure SQL Database. For the foreseeable future, the application will have to run both on site and on Azure. The project is stored in TFS, and multiple filegroups are specified. Development is ongoing. Is there a way I can maintain this as one project in source control, given that Azure SQL databases only have a primary filegroup? I feel like I can't be the first person in this situation, but I haven't found a decent solution yet.
I'm fine with the Azure database only running on primary, but that is not an option for the local database. This is not for a single deployment, I would like to continue to deploy changes both locally and to Azure from source control. I may be asking for too much here, I just really really want to avoid dual maintenance, when there are a number of teams involved.
Thank you!
You have two options:
Add manual SQL Statements to setup Filegroups on your on-premises SQL Server that don't run against SQL Azure
Use a new feature of Azure named SQL Managed Instances. This is fully managed SQL Server instance running in Azure that supports all features of SQL Server such as filegroups. Don't go installing your own SQL Server on IaaS. That's not necessary anymore with this new feature.
There is no way to use multiple filegroups in Azure SQL Database. If you want to move your database to the cloud and keep the ability to use multiple filegroups, please consider setting an Azure VM with SQL Server on it. Another option would be to change your application so that it does not use SQL filegroups.
As for the replication, please consider SQL Server replication or Azure Data Sync. Azure Data Sync requires an Azure SQL database. It is slower than SQL Server replication but it can handle conflicts.
I am creating an iOS project that needs to read a SQL database in Azure. I have the database Server location, port, username, and password. I don't need to write to the database, just read it. I am more familiar with Firebase or Parse and have never used Azure. How do I even go about starting this? I tried the sample project that Azure makes for you but I don't have any tables? Do I need this? Any help would be welcome.
Azure Mobile App Service can connect with your existing SQL database
this thread explains the process where you use the existing SQL database. With this option Azure manages most of the inner workings for you.
If you want to build the Rest API from "scratch" using your existing SQL database You have some more options:
Azure API Management allows you to publish API's securely and at scale, A server less Azure Function like the example in this article Rest API with Azure Functions and Azure SQL Database or build a rest API using an Azure Logic App which doesn't require you to write code. You could also use Nodejs or many other tools you just need to evaluate what would work best for your use case.
I've developed a product for my customer using ASP.Net MVC 3 and SQL Server 2008 R2. My customer wants me to host it over Azure. The access will be given to my customer's clients.
I found many posts talking about "NO CODE CHANGE REQUIRED FOR HOSTING OVER AZURE" But my questions is
My customer's client's will have there own set of data, how that will get mapped? My current application, if hosted in premise will serve it's purpose to the fullest. What if I need to use the same schema for 100 clients OVER AZURE? Do I need to database schema to address say 100 clients?
Thanks

I've got a simple MVC 4 application with a user and role defined in the ASP.NET Configuration. They work fine locally (Running with F5) but when published to Azure Web Site the users don't exist or at least, when trying to log in I can't. Could either be the user doesn't exist or that the passwords isn't matching.
e.g. I have a page for Admins only, I have one admin user. Locally I created the user and role in the ASP.NET Configuration page and I can log in as Admin and access the secured page. After publishing to Azure Web Site I can't log in as Admin.
Can anyone help? How do I publish my ASP.NET Configuration?
I'm using Visual Studio Express 2012 for Web
As #Sound pointed out, you are probably missing the users from the DB that is hosted on Azure. You can access Sql Azure using Sql Management Studio once you open up the firewall through the Azure portal. From there, you can run a script to insert the users, or do it manually through SSMS.
There are many options for migrating data, the above just being a few. You might also look into EF Data Migrations as that might be a good fit as well.
I have heard from some of the microsoft connect blogs that Geneva Server works with AD/LDAP as identity providers. If I have to configure my own custom attribute store in SQL server, with these users not being in AD groups would that be possible.from the blogs what I have seen is that Genevea Server is tightly coupled with AD and if I have to use custom store then I have to write my custom STS by overriding base classes from the Geneva Framework. So my question is is it possible to authenticate a user from the SQL store,(who is not in AD group) visa the Geneva Server Beta 2?
My mistake, a SQL attribute store is supported, but SQL account store is NOT supported in beta 2.
Yes, you can. MS has published a guide that shows you how, you can grab it (GenevaServerFederatedCollaboration-SBS-Guide.pdf) from here:
