Install server on Azure website

Question

I would like to install a web application on a Azure Website (not virtual machine). I do have a directory which contains the asp.net/c# application. The documentation only says the following:

"To install the server, simply create a new web application in IIS (or in the shared hosting control panel), pointing to a folder in which you copy the contents of the supplied folder"

Sounds easy but I don't even know where to start. Can you give me a hint? Do I have to use Visual Studio to get it working? What I found on the internet suggest this but I think the folder contains already the "output" of Visual Studio.

No need to install a server, it's already done for you with Azure Websites.

There are many ways to deploy and app: Dropbox, FTP, Visual Studio, etc.

Correct me if I'm wrong but my guess is that you're not familiar with Visual Studio and you're looking for an easy way to deploy your app. If so, I would look at Dropbox.
