Currently I'm building an ASP.NET MVC project using the new Team Foundation Build 2015 (former Build vNext) feature in Visual Studio Online and I can do a successful deployment to an Azure Website easily.
Also I have a private server with Windows Server 2012 and IIS (you can not access it via the Internet) and I wonder if there is any way to make a deployment from my build in Visual Studio Online. Is it possible?
Yes, it is possible.
You need to set up a on-premise build server machine and register it to the visual studio online account. Please check steps in this blog for the details: http://myalmblog.com/2014/04/configuring-on-premises-build-server-for-visual-studio-online/

I am using Visual Studio 2017 Version 15.3.2 to write Xamarin mobile apps.
My issue is that File->New->Project does not offer Azure Mobile Apps anymore. I have attempted to find the templates online and run repair on my Visual Studio installation, but the project template is no where to be found.
Any suggestions?
You could choose Cloud->ASP.NET Web Application template and you will find that Azure Mobile App is a sub project template of ASP.NET Web Application.
When I right click on the Web Project in the Solution Explorer of Visual Studio 2017, I don't see an option 'Add Existing Project as Azure Web Job'.
I did install Nuget-packages such as Microsoft.Web.WebJobs.Publish for the web project.
I am following this link https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/app-service-web/websites-dotnet-deploy-webjobs#convertlink to enable automatic WebJobs deployment with a web project.
Ideally, I am supposed to see like this, but that highlighted option is not shown in my visual studio 2017

I don't see an option 'Add Existing Project as Azure Web Job'.
As far as I know, Visual Studio does not support to deploy WebJobs with ASP.NET Core Web Application currently.
But this feature is available in ASP.NET Web Application.
If you can not see 'Add Existing Project as Azure Web Job' option in your ASP.NET Web Application, you can try to repair or reinstall your Visual Studio and upgrade/reinstall your Azure SDK.
Currently, I had used the App Studio for Web App Template for Windows 10,
May I ask about how to integrate the Windows Ads after extract all the source code and run in Visual Studio 2015?
A Hosted Web App is just a website running within the app, the Advertising can be included in the website code.
I´m currently trying to set up an azure mobile service .net backend for an app. I´m using visual studio express 2013 for Windows / for Web. I installed all available updates and the recent azure sdk (2.4).
My problem now is that there is no "Azure Mobile Service" project template and mobile services is even not displayed beneath the azure entry in the server explorer.
What did I miss to install?
Many thanks in advance!
UPDATE:
I tried to set up the mobile service with visual studio express 2012 but I stuck at the same problem. Neither the mobile service template nor the option in the server explorer is present.
I just downloaded Visual Studio 2013 Express for Windows with Update 3 from this link:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=43729
I then had the mobile services node in the Server Explorer. However, the project template still isn't there.
This was with Azure SDK 2.3 already installed and also tested with Azure SDK 2.4.
The project templates ship with Visual Studio SKUs and their updates, and I believe Mobile Services is only shipping with Pro and Ultimate for now.
One option to get that starting project is to provision your mobile service in the portal making sure to select the .NET backend. Then on the quickstart page of the portal (the little cloud to the left of the dashboard tab) select the link to create a new application. You will get an option to download the starter solution for the .NET backend (for windows apps it will also download the client). That is basically the same project you would get by choosing File -> New Project in VS pro or ultimate. You can then open the solution in VS Express for Web 2013 but not VS Express for Windows.
To publish the mobile service you'll need to do the following:
Go back to the portal and on the Dashboard page for your mobile service click the Download Publish Profile link and save to your local machine
Right-click the project in the Solution Explorer and choose "Publish"
Import the publish profile you downloaded in step #1 and finish the publish process
So if you want to use the express versions of VS 2013, make sure you have all the updates then:
Use VS 2013 For Windows to manage your mobile service in server explorer and build your windows clients
Use VS 2013 For Web to build your Azure Mobile Service back end project, run locally, and publish using the publish profile.
Just installed VS Ultimate 2013 version 12.0.30110.00 Update 1, then went to the Windows Azure site and created an account. Also downloaded and installed the Windows Azure 2.2 SDK.
I open visual studio and go to Server Explorer. I see Data Connections, Servers (my machine), and SharePoint Connections. I don't see a Windows Azure Node. I look under the tools menu and see Connect to Database, Connect to Server, Add SharePoint connection.
So I download VS 2013 Express for Web, I open it and see under the tools menu Connect to Database, Connect to Windows Azure. I open the server explorer and see Data Connections, Servers, Windows Azure.
Does the Azure functionality only exist in the Web Express version and not in the Ultimate 2013 version of Visual Studio?
There is a separate set of tools for Windows Azure and Visual Studio. Depending on how you installed the SDK, you may not have received these tools: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsazure/ee405484.aspx
Additionally, you may need to "sign in" via visual studio for it to see the items in your subscription. You should be able to do this by clicking on the "connect to windows azure" option in the server explorer.
The Windows Azure node ships in the Azure SDK 2.2 and 2.3 as well as in all SKUs of Visual Studio 2013 Update 2. So you should be seeing the node if you have one of those installed.
