Connecting SQL Server to Azure Database in ASP.NET MVC

Question

I have been developing applications using ASP.NET MVC but using the IIS localhost for testing. I want to deploy for production now but a bit stuck.

I have subscribed for the Azure free subscription. I have been able to deploy the application to azure and it is live on "mydomain".azurewebsites.net. The issue I am having now is the database.

I want to connect a database to it. I used EF Code-First approach throughout the project. My questions are below:

1. What will be the content of my Web.config as regards connection string before deploying the application.
2. How do I create a database and connect it successfully to my application on Azure

Answer 1
