I have been developing applications using ASP.NET MVC but using the IIS localhost for testing. I want to deploy for production now but a bit stuck.

I have subscribed for the Azure free subscription. I have been able to deploy the application to azure and it is live on "mydomain".azurewebsites.net. The issue I am having now is the database.

I want to connect a database to it. I used EF Code-First approach throughout the project. My questions are below:

  1. What will be the content of my Web.config as regards connection string before deploying the application.
  2. How do I create a database and connect it successfully to my application on Azure

  • web.config is intended to be site specific, i.e. every instance of web.config could be unique. So you should never be deploying it. Commented Dec 3, 2020 at 22:58
