DLL-s needed to run ASP.NET MVC 3 RC on Windows Azure

In this weekend I made one of my new apps run on Windows Azure. I am building this application using ASP.NET MVC 3 RC and Razor view engine. In this posting I will list DLL-s you need to have as local copies to get ASP.NET MVC 3 RC run on Windows Azure web role.

Besides assemblies that are already references you may need to add references to some more assemblies. List of assemblies is here:

  • Microsoft.Web.Infrastructure
  • System.Web.Helpers
  • System.Web.Mvc
  • System.Web.Razor
  • System.Web.WebPages
  • System.Web.WebPages.Razor
  • WebMatrix.Data

You can find Razor and ASP.NET Web Pages related assemblies from folder:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft ASP.NET\ASP.NET Web Pages\v1.0\Assemblies\

NB! If your project is using dynamically loaded assemblies that are not referenced from any of your project make sure you are including them as project items that are located in bin folder. This way these DLL-s are also put to deployment package and you don’t have to create code level references to them.
