WCF model class from metadata not updating - c#-4.0

I have a WCF service that uses a separate project for a DAL, which I have a reference to, and can access the entity objects with the DAL, through the service as such:
[OperationContract]
GeoLocations GetLocations();
This returns a GeoLocations object.
The issue is that I have updated the DAL as my database has changed, and I see all the new fields in the code, however when I do a 'view source' on GeoLocations I see the following file:
GeoLocations [from metadata]
... which doesn't contain any of the new fields, and is locked in the IDE.
I have tried cleaning the project, deleting all the DLL's, etc., but I still see the old class.
How can I update this with the new properties?
Thanks.

I faced such issue in many time and i found problem is related to this.
1.As you change in DAL. It is neccesarry that you build that project first.
WCF pproject as Reference of DAL. So you need to build this too and verify that it has updated DLL.
Now go to project and update service reference. of that Service in project or application where you consume your WCF service.

A couple of things:
When updating the service reference, depending on how large the service is that is being consumed, all the property definitions may not be updated right away. Also, after the service reference has been updated, I recommend building the project and then continuing. This seems to avoid the previous issue.

Publishing ASP.NET MvC to Azure with SQLite - data fetching fails

Just created a simple ASP.NET MvC project, to list blood pressure measurements. I opted to use SQLite as a database as it is (supposedly) embedded into the project, therefore eliminating the need for an external database. Which is expensive, and the reason why I chose to go with SQLite. That way I would only need to host the web app, which is free, if I chose the free tier, F1.
Publishing through VS2022 is successful, and the app shows correctly, except it shows none of the measurements. Which renders the app ((no) pun intended) useless, at least as a cloud app. I have done some research, and changed the publishingsettings a couple of times, but this is how they look right now.
Configuration: Release
Target Framework: net6.0
Deployment Mode: Self-contained
Target Runtime: win-x86
File Publish Options: None of the options chosen
Databases: Default Connection - Use this connection string at runtime:
=> Data source=bloodpressuremeasurements.db
Entity Framework Migrations: BloodPressureContext (name of the DbContext)
- Apply this migration on publish: NOT chosen, since it gave me an exception and publish failed
Site Extension Options: Install ASP.NET Core Logging Integration Site Extension
- NOT chosen
I also tried changing the option for the db file to Copy To Output Directory: Copy always.
That didn't change a thing. What am I missing?
The website works now as intended, with all the data shown. It looks like the problem stems from scaffolding read and write methods, which made Visual Studio 2022 pull in EntityFrameworkCore.SqlServer. Which is not what I wanted, since I'm using SQLite.
That in turn created some service dependencies under Connected Services, one of them being SQL Server something. It also appeared under the Publish menu, and seems to have caused the compilator to view the connection string as an SQL Server database connection.
I created a new app, and copied the code from the first one. I was careful not to scaffold, as I only need a Get method, to show all measurements. I need none of the other methods in CRUD, neither Post, Delete, nor Update. I will add new measurements by running the app again locally, and read the measurements from a CSV file (did that in the beginning). Then I will publish the app anew, with the updated SQLite database.

Azure WebJob-Project - access parent project artifacts

I am new to Azure WebJobs. For a mobile app we need some WebJobs that can run scheduled. My question is about the "Projects-Architecture" when it comes to WebJobs.
As far as i know, a new project is created for every WebJob. I am doing this by righclicking the main project -> add new azure webjob project.
But how are these projects "combined". There should be some reference to the parent project that i cannot find. I need to access the entities from the main project inside the WebJob. How should this be done?
Furthermore i am not sure wheter to implement Logic+Data access directly inside the WebJob or let the WebJob instead call another Controller to handle this?
Documentation on this is horrible, every help would be great.
They are not really "combined". There is a reference in the Web App (the webjobs-list.json) in properties that tells VS to publish the webjob when you publish the web app. If you need to access entity models in the webjob, then you need to add a reference to your other projects just like you would in any other project (add the project reference and then add a using statement in the webjob). The reference will get compiled into the webjob.
May I ask what are you trying to achieve via the web job? this would help in identifying why the need for accessing the models of your MVC app.
One suggestion would be to push the object from the MVC app to an azure queue and then access it via your job. Set it up in a way to identify new messages in a queue. (trigger). - not sure if this helps cause I am not sure how quick the web job is run and what are the other constraints you are working with.
When you add a new or existing WebJob Project to your solution, Visual Studio will take care of this for you. It is not something new, as if you are adding a console/windows service project to your web/MVC application.
If you need these projects to communicate, you till need to add references to your other projects just like you would in any other project which will in turn get compiled.
If you need to learn more and check some examples, this tutorial https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/websites-dotnet-webjobs-sdk-get-started/ shows how to write code for a simple multi-tier ASP.NET MVC 5 application that uses the WebJobs SDK. Maybe that can give you some information on how to architect the application.

I can't add/remove service reference after migration to VS2012

I get this error after I try to Update/Delete/Create a service reference:
The configuration for the service reference could not be added due to the following issue: Attribute 'binding' is required on element 'endpoint'.
In VS2010 it was working fine.
I've tried a lot of things included:
Strike one:
Unchecked the "Reuse Types in referenced assemblies" checkbox in the Configure Service reference dialog.
Strike two:
Remove all the references from the project, add them again
Unchecked the non-Microsoft dlls in the Configure Service reference dialog.
Strike three:
-Uninstalled/Reinstalled VS2012
-Deleted/Remapped original project
-Added the service reference in a brand new project
-Delete old service .wsdl's, .xsd's, .disco's, .svcinfo, .svcmap from the original project
-Edited the .csproj xml to remove the old files and insert the new files
-Copied the service files from the new project to the original project
-Now the old project builds but I still can't add/remove/update any service references
P.S. I really loved VS2010 but I can't say the same about VS2012... still...
1.Just open your VS-2012 solution in VS -2010
Clean the client project
Add service like as you add your service previous => Configure service=>Update Service
Close the solution from vs-2010
Now Open your solution in VS-2012
Your Project is ready for VS-2012

Unable to deploy ASP.NET MVC 4 app as Azure Web Site

I have an ASP.NET MVC 4 app that I'm trying to deploy as an Azure Web Site. My app works fine in my local environment. When I publish the site to azure though, I receive the following error:
Multiple types were found that match the controller named 'Root'. This can happen if the route that services this request ('') does not specify namespaces to search for a controller that matches the request. If this is the case, register this route by calling an overload of the 'MapRoute' method that takes a 'namespaces' parameter.
The request for 'Views' has found the following matching controllers:
MyApp.HD.Web.Controllers.RootController
MyApp.Web.Controllers.RootController
Why would I get this error on Azure but not locally? I can't figure out how to get around it.
Thank you
I've had this problem before. Let me explain why it happened.
We added a new project to our solution, let's call it NewProject. This project had been set up incorrectly so we recreated it as NewProject2. Once the project was setup and working, we renamed it to NewProject. This is when the problem started. Under certain build configurations we were getting the same error as you. It was complaining about ambiguous controllers with namespaces NewProject and NewProject2. Doing a find-in-files returned no matches for NewProject2. The was thoroughly frustrating. Given that this was only occuring under certain build configurations was a big sign that the problem was with left-over references in the bin folder(s). Doing a clean didn't seem to fix the problem. The ultimate fix was to do a complete code purge. DLLs typically do not get committed to source control. I backed up and deleted all code and got it back from source control. The issue no longer occurs.
It's worth mentioning that this issue was not global. It only occurred on certain developer machines. I figure the ones that were affect were the ones that had gotten latest from source control during the process of create1/create2/rename2/delete1.
Try doing a clean and rebuild in the affected build config.
Try manually removing your bin and obj folders.
Try a complete code purge

Cant read configuration. RoleEnvironment may be inaccessible due to its protection level

This is my first azure project and I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong.
I'm trying to get some configuration inside an MVC 3 webrole and for this I'm using:
RoleEnvironment.GetConfigurationSettingValue(KeyName)
When I run the application on the emulator i get his error:
BC30451: 'RoleEnvironment' is not declared. It may be inaccessible due to its protection level.
I tried to add the full namespace like this:
Microsoft.WindowsAzure.ServiceRuntime.RoleEnvironment.GetConfigurationSettingValue(KeyName)
And I get this error:
BC30456: 'ServiceRuntime' is not a member of 'WindowsAzure'.
However, I can access the RoleEnvironment inside the "OnStart" event of the WebRole class.
So, is it the expected behavior? If yes, how am I supposed to read configuration through the whole project?
Thanks in advance;
Have you added a reference to the Microsoft.WindowsAzure.ServiceRuntime assembly in your MVC project?
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.windowsazure.serviceruntime.roleenvironment.aspx
I started a new solution based on seanost suggestion and it worked well, so I figured the problem wasn't VS. After a few try and errors I finally found a solution, I just don't have an explanation for it :-)
Under my MVC project I have a folder called "App_Code".
Since i come from web forms development I'm use to the name so I created this folder to keep some classes. If I try to access "RoleEnviroment" from a class inside this folder the project compiles but won't even open, no matter what I try to access it will throw the same error.
If I rename the folder or move the files to another folder (let's say "Code"), it just works.
As I said before, I just don't know why it happens (and it doesn;t really matter now :-)
FYI, if you're using Visual Studio's Azure templates, references to the following namespaces are included by default, so it's not necessary to set Copy Local to true:
Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Diagnostics
Microsoft.WindowsAzure.ServiceRuntime
Microsoft.WindowsAzure.StorageClient
To make sure Visual Studio and the SDK is installed correctly, you should be able to do the following: Create a new MVC3 Azure project, add a using directive for the ServiceRuntime library in your Home controller, then add the following code in the Index action:
ViewBag.configValue = RoleEnvironment.GetConfigurationSettingValue("Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Plugins.Diagnostics.ConnectionString");
return View();
Then, add the following Razor syntax in the View:
<p>#ViewBag.configValue;</p>
And you should get the following result in your browser:
UseDevelopmentStorage=true
