When i am trying to make package of cloud application code my visual studio is getting restart.I am unable to make a package,please suggest me solution ASAP.
If you mean Visual Studio crashes when you build a Windows Azure application, please try to reinstall the Windows Azure tools. Moreover, you can also use CSPack to manually create the package. I would like to suggest you to check http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg432988.aspx for more information.
In addition, if the issue is still encountered, please provide more information as other communities point out, then we can find the issue more conveniently and provide further suggestions for you.

Is there a way to publish an app from Visual Studio Code to Azure App service directly i.e. without going through Git or some other source control?
No, there is no native way of doing so. You can créate a Task in Visual Studio code that does the git push or ftp push or something. But no native way yet.
Actually, now it is possible: see this.
But for now I would discourage you from using VS Code to deploy on Azure through the official extension, I'm facing plenty of errors and wasting tons of hours, even trying to publish a default basic MVC template: errors 404, 403, 500 ("Cannot find compilation library location for package 'Microsoft.NETCore.App'")... it's a nightmare. It's even more unpleasant since they're all made by Microsoft, and they just don't work together.
Using the classical Visual Studio should work well.
I've tried to set up the remote debugger for Azure Websites, Azure websites only seem to support remote debugging on VS2013 or VS2012, not 2015.
Is there a way to work around this issue?
Please make sure you have the latest VS2015 and SDK and try it from time to time. The plan is obviously to support VS2015 too, but please keep in mind that until there is the release version of VS, things might get broken from time to time. Basically there has to be a client version and server version of this aligned and in the preview versions it might happen that they are not backwards compatible and they get out of sync.
Unfortunately, there is not much you can do about it at this moment. If you need this for your business, I would recommend to use VS2013, which you can have installed side by side along with VS2015 Preview.
Hope this helps.
I have an app using SQL Server Compact Edition. So I need the runtime to be on all the machines. I've been looking for the merge modules for the runtime however I've had no luck there.
Is there a way to bring the runtime into the app itself? And in so doing not not requiring the user to install the runtime?
Or is there a way of extracting the modules from the msi and loading them into my installer?
I am using Visual Studio 2012. And playing around with a few installer creators like Create install free. As a side, does anyone have a good freeware installer creator?
Any help would be great,
many thanks in advance
You can include the SQL Server Compact DLL files with your app, so you do not need to install anything in addition to your app - see my blog for long, detailed description - which SQL Server Compact version do you use?

You don't have to use Visual Studio, you can use CSPack that is part of the Azure SDK:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsazure/gg432988.aspx
As Tom mentioned, you can use CSPack to create the package. As for the configuration file, you can either create it manually, or use the /generateConfigurationFile switch when using CSPack. This switch will automatically generate a skeleton of the cscfg file. If you don’t have anything to configure, you can just leave it as is. Please also refer to Tom’s link for more information about CSPack. Bottom line is you need a csdef file, which has to be created manually or using a Windows Azure development tool (such as Visual Studio). If you want to create it manually, I would like to suggest you to check http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsazure/ee758711.aspx for its schema.

Also note please use a startup task to install the ISAPI filter. You can refer to http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsazure/gg456327.aspx for more information about startup task. Inside the startup task, you can run the Appcmd to install the ISAPI filter, or start a custom C# application, or use PowerShell.
In addition, please check http://learningpcs.blogspot.com/2011/08/powershell-iis-7-adding-isapi-filters.html for the various options to install ISAPI filters.

I developed a web-site on ASP.NET 3.5 SP1 platform. And additional I have 2 win services. My task is to build install package. I decided that Visual Studio install projects are not met my requirements. I design my own installer for this project, because I need to resolve many question and problem in install process. My problem: I need to deploy web-site into IIS, but I don't know how to do it easy. I found Microsoft tool as Web Deployment Tool, but I didn't find any documentation. And must I include this tool into my installer for deployment at destination customer? Another side I found SDC Tasks Library and it looks like a solution for me. But I saw many topics where people had problems and because the project was dead anybody couldn't help them. I know it is a long story... My question: how can I deploy the web-site from another program (I know that IIS versions have some differences and it is another headache), set a virtual directory, application pool (very important), a type of authentification and so forth ???
Thanks.
Use Wix for installers.
