无法连接到Azure移动服务Visual Studio 2015

Question

I'm new to Microsoft Azure and am struggling to connect to an existing Azure Mobile Service . I'd like to add a service reference to this Mobile site in a Console Application in Visual Studio 2015 .

When I right-click References -> Add Connected Service -> Azure Mobile Services , the Configure Button is disabled (see image):

• I've installed the Azure SDK
• I've added WindowsAzure.MobileServices via NuGet
• Tried right-click on project Add -> Azure API App Client , but the drop down of available services is empty. When I publish the Mobile Service from Visual Studio, it shows up in the drop down for existing mobile services
• I successfully connect to service using Fiddler and was able to query data.

Am I missing SDK or something?

Answer 1

This tooling gesture is not supported for this client type (console app). From this dialog, Mobile Services can be added to Windows and Cordova targets. The More Information link from your screenshot shows the full details.

You can still connect to Mobile Services via the SDK you obtained via NuGet . You just have to install this manually, rather than using the tooling. In order to get started, create a MobileServiceClient object and pass it the URL of your app and the App Key (available in the management portal).
