Upgrading Azure SDK and Azure Storage version to latest

Question

I am a beginner in Azure. I had a soln which was using the old version of SDK 2.1 and now have upgraded to 2.6 on my local. I use Visual Studio Team Services to deploy it on the cloud(which has the old version). All is working fine. So I have deployed to cloud using Team Services. But the cloud service still shows the old version. Is there any way I can check anything to see of the upgraded version 2.6 has been transitioned to the cloud service ?

Once you have installed the latest sdk on your machine you will still have to upgrade your project within Visual Studio.
To do this: Within your solution select the Azure Cloud Service project (the one that contains the ServiceDefinition.csdef etc). Press Alt+Enter or right-click and from the context menu select properties (found at the very bottom).
This will open the document page shown below and will display the version of the Azure sdk your project is using. If a newer version is found on your machine you will see an upgrade button.
