ASP.NET MVC 2 and Windows Azure
If you upgrade an Azure web instance to use ASP.NET MVC 2, make sure you mark the System.Web.Mvc reference as Copy Local = true. Otherwise, your deployment will fail. And you wont get any good feedback from Windows Azure as to the cause of the problem. So youll start searching the web for help, and perhaps youll stumble on this post, and youll realize that you didnt set Copy Local = true on your System.Web.Mvc assembly reference in your ASP.NET MVC 2 web instance. And youll leave happy (or at least slightly happier) than when you came. That is all.
