Azure Mobile Services

First of all thank you responding.
I am about to create a windows app within which the user enters the email id for confirmation. I would like to store the email id in the cloud. How to create a sql database in Azure. i have a trial subscription and my region is India. Also I need to
create a mobile service. It says that the service is disabled in the free trial subscription. But in some sites they say in the free trial I can get 10 Mobile services for free. Plz help me through this....

The free trial subscriptions are mainly geared towards development. So since your free service shows up as disabled, it means you have exceeded one of the quota limits on a free subscription. You would need to upgrade to a paid subscription to continue
utilizing your service.
With regards to creating the SQL Database in Azure, Azure mobile services makes this very simple. Here's a good start regarding
Azure Mobile services.

Integrating a PHP Web App with an Existing Azure Mobile Services and Mobile App

I've got an existing mobile app that is integrated with Azure's mobile services. The mobile services are currently connected to Azure Active Directory with MFA enabled. I'd like to build a separate PHP-based web application (Azure VM) that uses this existing
mobile service and authentication.
I reviewed the Azure PHP SDK, but didn't see any tie-ins to the Mobile Service. Additionally, Azure has some great tutorials, but for mobile services they all seem to focus on iOS, Android, and Windows phone. Any insight into how to tie a PHP-app into this
backend would be much appreciated!

Although there isn't any client library for PHP, you can still access Mobile Service using the
Azure Mobile Service REST API.

Cannot connect to Azure Mobile Services as DataSource

I've created an Azure Mobile Service which is using .NET backend.
Project Siena isn't able to connect or work against this kind of data source.
Error message is
An error occurred connecting to Azure Mobile Service
I have also tried to create zz_config support table, and implement a custom TableController for serving the URI
tables/zz_config but I could only got few steps further, still without the possibility to read and use the model exposed by Mobile Services
This behavior has been reproduced with both Beta 2 and Beta 3
P.S. Adding the AMS as REST data source makes possible to import and use the model exposed. The operation of association in this case must be done per-table in Siena
Wheb can we expect Siena to work well together with the new version of Azure Mobile Services?

Yes, that article is indeed precise and updated. I followed all steps described properly, especially for the part about setting up the database structure, and create
zz_config table (second post of the series)
I can connect to AMS (JS Backend) with Siena, but tables' names aren't showing up correctly, but display as
undefined, and from there on doesn't work properly.
JSON object returned from GET /tables/zz_config?$filter=(Key%20eq%20'table')
"id": "ccb9c9a8-9bae-41c8-87aa-277e2e0d1379",
"key": "table",
"value": "users"
I do confirm I have the same (incorrect) behavior using a .NET Backend where I set up
zz_config table and create a TableController mapped with it; with route
tables/zz_config
I confirm also I had the same behavior this morning with Beta 2, before I installed Beta 3.
P.S. The error message reported in my first post is returned only when the table
zz_config isn't setup correctly on AMS

How to upload image in windows azure mobile service from android?

I am new in android I am using windows azure mobile service and I am Inserting Text data successfully but now I want to Upload Image in windows azure mobile service. I know its is possible by Azure Storage I have seen this chrisrisner post but
its confusing can anyone tell me simple step by step process to save image in windows azure mobile service.
I will be Very Grateful for you. its very urgent

Hello Nitesh,
Saving an image into Azure Mobile Services doesn't scale very well and it's not recommended. It's recommended to use Azure Blob Storage for blob storage. It's cheaper and can store larger files.
You can definitely use both Azure Mobile Services and Blob Storage together by saving the name of the image in your Mobile Services table and storing the actual file in the Blob storage. This way when you need to retrieve the actual image, you would retrieve
it by it's name from Blob storage.
Here's a MSDN article that explains how to use
Azure Blob Storage.
Let me know if this helps.

"No databases are selected to publish" when trying to publish Azure Mobile Services

Hi, all. I had no idea what started the problem. I even tried deleting the service and DB to start from fresh with just the starter project Todoitem. And I can see the DB under my Azure mobile services > configure > SQL server and SQL Databases.
This seems to be a common problem that people run into when I searched on Google or Bing. But interestingly the social MSDN post returned from both will bring me only to the social main forum instead of the forum post...

No one else having this problem? This just happened on another developer that is contributing to the same repo. Again, I am able to publish just fine. It looks like the publish wizard really have some problem but I can't tell where that information is
cached.

Azure Mobile Service as Data Source - "undefined"

I'm trying to access Azure Mobile Service from my Siena app, I created the zz_config table and added
the key/value pair, but no matter what I try I always get back only one item called 'undefined' in the Siena app.
I tried adding the correct schema in the value of the zz_config table but it also didn't work.
Any sugestions?
Thanks.

wowsie, that was the clue, THANK you Robin!
Now I got the name of the Table into Siena. One step futher for me also! great!
Okey, it's worked now... :)

How do I send a raw (push) notification from the server side using an Azure mobile service?

Hi there!
Currently I'm able to send toast notifications to my user from my Azure mobile service using the following line of code in one of my server side scripts:
push.wns.send(opponent_id, payload, 'wns/toast', {
success: function(pushResponse) {
console.log("Sent push:", pushResponse);
request.respond(statusCodes.OK, {});
error: function(pushResponse) {
console.log("Error Sending push:", pushResponse);
request.respond(500, { error: pushResponse });
But I would like to send a raw notification to my user now, not a toast notification. I've set up a background tasks which runs as soon as a raw notification arrives(I've tested this through the diagnose option of my mobileservicehub and it works).
I want to send a raw notification now from the server side and I'm kind off lost on how to do that. I've looked for it but can't seem to find an answer to that question, I might be looking for the wrong stuff though.
I'm looking for a solution that looks the same as the one for a toast notification(as demonstrated in the code above).
Your help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
Jan

I found the solution to this it was in fact really really easy, I should have read the documentation more properly since it clearly said that the payload for raw notifications could be literally anything but the client has to take care of it.
So I figured that out!

Offline data synchronization in azure mobile services on windows server 2008

Hi,
I have a class library which insert data into tables in azure mobile services on windows server 2008 OS for windows universal C# platform. I am trying to insert data using offline data synchronization.
I had installed SQLite runtime for windows 8.1 and windows phone 8.1, but unable to add reference 'SQLite for Windows Runtime(Windows8.1)'.
Please guide me whether windows server 2008 OS supports offline data synchronization in azure mobile services.
Thank you.

I also have a Windows Server 2012 R2 system using Azure Backup, and I don't have the problem. However, you probably noticed that you use a different Azure Backup installation download for Windows Server 2008 R2 vs. Windows Server 2012 R2. Although both
show the same Microsoft Azure Recovery Services Agent version 2.0.8692.0 installed, my Windows Server 2012 R2 also lists Microsoft Azure Backup for Windows Server Essentials version 6.2.9805.9 installed as well. It could be the case the my problem with the
CATALOG FAILURE 0x80131500 errors is something specific to the version of Azure Backup installed on my Windows 2008 R2 servers.

Azure Mobile Services and ASP Identity - Exception when using UserManager

I've reviewed
this post in the AMS forum and it doesn't really answer the question. I already know how to integrate authentication, but Identity implements a lot of boilerplate user management code that I don't want to have to reproduce. My question is: Is it possible
to use Asp Identity framework with Azure Mobile Services? Since AMS Back End has Microsoft ASP.NET Identity Core/Owin as dependencies, I would think that the answer is yes, that they are compatible?
I have been progressing as if it were possible, but yet, now when I go to try to use the Identity UserManager, I am getting the exception stated in
this asp.net identity bug. Are there references in Azure Mobile Services Back End to previous versions of Microsoft.AspNet.Identity that would result in mismatched assembly versions?
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Asp.Net Identity, even to the pre-release of 2.2.0, but I am still getting the exception that it couldn't load the CultureAwaiter. I have asked in that post if the bug has been fixed, but from the scant evidence of
the posts and lack of responses, I would think that the bug has been fixed.
ibGib

The bug referenced in the original post shows that the required version is 2.1. I found that when I published to Azure, even though I had the correct (2.1) versions of the NuGet packages installed, the loaded dlls were not the correct versions. I do not
know if this is an Azure problem or an Azure Mobile Services problem.
I came to this conclusion by looking at the loaded Identity dlls in a new, up-to-date mvc app, and then looking at the same loaded dlls while debugging in Azure. The Azure dlls are older versions than the up-to-date MVC app versions. I figure that somewhere
along the lines, Azure Mobile Services is loading the incorrect version of the Identity dlls, even though I have the correct versions installed via NuGet. Maybe there is another explanation.
But regardless, I should be able to use the up-to-date versions of Identity in order to address bugs in the Identity framework. It would be nice if an AMS person would clarify about the dll versioning. I did come across
this SO comment by someone who seems to be an AMS guru, but it doesn't seem to make sense. It does, however, seem to corroborate my and BinLaw's observed behavior of the backend dlls.

Azure Mobile Service in project Siena

Thanks for everything you have done in Project Siena, it is a great and very productive app.
I was very happy when I first saw that the known limitations on connecting Siena to Azure Mobile Services was removed in the presentation of Project Siena beta 3. However it seems that there are still many limitations and it still only imports first
500 records. Actually I can not see any development on the Azure data source functionality since beta 1?
I have asked the question before and was informed that Azure Mobile Services was strategically important to Project Siena.
Please let me have some indications for what we can expect so we don't work towards something that will never materialize.
1, Will the limitations on how many rows can be imported be removed in near future?
2, Will write back to Azure Mobile Services be enabled in a future version of Project Siena?
Hope to hear from you on this very important issue.
Best Regards
Morten

Hi Morten,
Thank you for your interest in Project Siena and for the feedback. We don't answer questions regarding future functionality. The community has been collecting feature requests/suggestions at the following thread:

Thanks again,
Robin

Azure mobile services error cannot find module 'azure-storage'

this is driving me nuts for past five days now and still no solution. After asking the questing at StackOverflow and azure-storage npm, I thought of now posting the same question here so that it reaches to more targeted 'microsoft azure' experts.
in my AzureMobileService, I am using azure-storage npm module in one of my custom API. I have been using this for past couple of months and it was all working great, I was very happy. Until last moday it started throwing the error - 'cannot find module
'azure-storage'. It was strange, the code that was working till morning , started failing when I came back from work, with no change of a bit in the code. I get this error where I call 'require' for 'azure-module':
var azure = require('azure-storage');
var retryOperationFilter = new azure.ExponentialRetryPolicyFilter();
var tableService= azure.createTableService().withFilter(retryOperationFilter);
and in package.json, I have
"dependencies": {"tracer": "0.7.3", "colors" : "1.0.3", "lodash" :"2.4.1", "azure-storage": "0.4.1"},
Today, I also tried creating a new Mobile service from scratch in my azure account. Then I created the custom API and wrote the code again from scratch. Updated package.json to include azure-storage, updated my client code(HTML/JS) to use this new service
URL etc. and tested again, everything worked fine till it reached the same line (require('azure-storage') ) and failed again there with
same error.
I am at my wits end. please help.

ok, got it working.
I did an npm install 'azure-storage' to my mobile service's service directory and then it started working.
As I remember reading, if I just include the npm module I want to use in my mobile service's package.json, it gets taken care, installed and I don't to install myself manually.
And thats what has been happening when my code was working till last week.
Also, its feels odd because the other node modules I use - like tracer or lodash - work with no manual npm install.
anyways, its working for now, but now I am thinking about the azure mobile's reliability

Windows Azure Mobile Services - Sql Server - prebuilt columns

am I correct in assuming that tables for WAMS need to be created in the Azure management portal and have some columns precreated. Once the table is created:
is it ok to modify the columns in Visual Studio once the table has been created?
Can i just create the necessary items on my own or do I need to go through the management portal all the time?
How do i handle foreign keys and such between two tables?

hi Wally,
Thanks for posting!
>>is it ok to modify the columns in Visual Studio once the table has been created?
yes, we could modify our sql database data on the latest version (Azure SDK 2.2 ). You could use VS 2013 and install SDK2.2 to view the data. At the same time, you will
click Add Firewall Rule and a new rule will be automatically added for you.
Please see the blog about this question (http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2013/10/22/windows-azure-announcing-release-of-windows-azure-sdk-2-2-with-lots-of-goodies.aspx
>>Can i just create the necessary items on my own or do I need to go through the management portal all the time?
The answer is yes . If you want to manage your SQL database by azure portal, you could find your database form
"SQL Azure", and click the "Manage" to manage your DB. Like this image:
>>How do i handle foreign keys and such between two tables?
you could handle foreign such as using SQL. Refer to this page (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/48772/how-do-i-create-a-foreign-key-in-sql-server

Progressbar info in azure Mobile Service offline scenario

Hi,
is there a way to understand how many data I'm downloading in order to have a Progress Bar info?
Thanks
Daniele

That's my model:
public class TodoItem
public stringId {
get;
set; }
[JsonProperty(PropertyName =
"text")]
public string Text {
get;
set; }
[JsonProperty(PropertyName =
"date")]
public DateTime Date {
get;
set; }
[Version]
public string Version { get; set; }
I initialize the db:
var store =
newMobileServiceSQLiteStore(DATABASE_FILE);
store.DefineTable<TodoItem>();
await MobileService.SyncContext.InitializeAsync(store,
newMobileServiceSyncHandler());
and I download the data:
IMobileServiceSyncTable <TodoItem>
todo = MobileService.GetSyncTable<TodoItem>();
await todo.PullAsync(null,null); //I download all everything
On the sqlserver database azure I have the data in this format:
2015-02-06T16:57:53.987+00:00
But after having download the data in the sqllite client table I find this value:
5367-10-19 11:41:16.

How to perform CRUD operations on joined tables created with Fluent API on Azure Mobile Services?

I've been following the
Field Engineer example project from the Windows Development Center to guide into mapping many-to-many relationships on my model. What's been bothering me is how to insert entries into many-to-many relationships.
Take my model as example:
An Organization can have many Users.
An User can belong to many Organizations.
My model class for User looks like this:
public class User
public User()
this.Organizations = new HashSet<Organization>();
public int Id { get; set; }
public string Email { get; set; }
public string Password { get; set; }
public string PasswordSalt { get; set; }
public string FirstName { get; set; }
public string LastName { get; set; }
public bool Active { get; set; }
public string Picture { get; set; }
public string PictureMimeType { get; set; }
public bool Confirmed { get; set; }
public string ConfirmationKey { get; set; }
[JsonIgnore]
public virtual ICollection<Organization> Organizations { get; set; }
My UserDTO class is this:
public class UserDTO : EntityData
public string Email { get; set; }
public string Password { get; set; }
public string PasswordSalt { get; set; }
public string FirstName { get; set; }
public string LastName { get; set; }
public bool Active { get; set; }
public string Picture { get; set; }
public string PictureMimeType { get; set; }
public bool Confirmed { get; set; }
public string ConfirmationKey { get; set; }
My Organization class:
public class Organization
public Organization()
this.Users = new List<User>();
public string Id { get; set; }
public string Title { get; set; }
public string LegalName { get; set; }
public string TaxReference { get; set; }
[JsonIgnore]
public virtual ICollection<User> Users { get; set; }
My OrganizationDTO class:
public class OrganizationDTO : EntityData
public string Title { get; set; }
public string LegalName { get; set; }
public string TaxReference { get; set; }
public virtual ICollection<UserDTO> Users { get; set; }
With those classes in mind I created the controller classes, I mapped the DTO and the Model classes using AutoMapper as follows:
cfg.CreateMap<Organization, OrganizationDTO>()
.ForMember(organizationDTO => organizationDTO.Id,
map => map.MapFrom(organization => MySqlFuncs.LTRIM(MySqlFuncs.StringConvert(organization.Id))))
.ForMember(organizationDTO => organizationDTO.Users,
map => map.MapFrom(organization => organization.Users));
cfg.CreateMap<OrganizationDTO, Organization>()
.ForMember(organization => organization.Id,
map => map.MapFrom(organizationDTO => MySqlFuncs.LongParse(organizationDTO.Id)))
.ForMember(organization => organization.Users,
map => map.Ignore());
Using Fluent API, I defined the relationship between these two entities using an EntityTypeConfiguration class like this:
public class UserEntityConfiguration : EntityTypeConfiguration<User>
public UserEntityConfiguration()
this.Property(u => u.Id).HasDatabaseGeneratedOption(DatabaseGeneratedOption.Identity);
this.HasMany<Organization>(u => u.Organizations).WithMany(o => o.Users).Map(uo =>
uo.MapLeftKey("UserId");
uo.MapRightKey("OrganizationId");
uo.ToTable("OrganizationsUsers");
I created a TableController class to handle UserDTO and OrganizationDTO, I have no problem inserting new Users or new Organizations, but the endpoints from each TableController class only allows me to add Users or Organizations individually as far as I understand.
To create an entry into the OrganizationsUser table, how can I achieve this?
I was thinking a PATCH request should be a way to do this, but is it the right way? Do I have to define a TableController for this? How can I expose the Insert, Update, Select and Delete operation for the elements in this relationship? What would be the JSON
to be sent to the endpoints?
