用于发送，接收和运行.exe的简单Azure C＃服务器

Question

Here is my case:

• Azure Cloud
• MS VS 2013
• Old Fortran .exe for some computations - let's call it solver with plain text files for input and output.

I configured virtual machine in Azure for executing solver.exe. Now i want to develop simple client and server apps with C# or any other language/tool from MS stack to use in this scenario:

• Client sets some settings, generates files and sends them to the virtual machine in the cloud.
• Server receives this data, runs solver.exe and sends some results back.
• Client saves results on local machine.

So what do I use to write server - C# or some script language? Should I write file transfer from the scratch? Any links to relevant guidelines are welcome.

Answer 1

The best you can do is create a service using WCF (Windows Communication Foundation).

Here some useful links:

Then to consume your service, just create a console application for example and add a service reference to your wcf service.
