The downloaded source files for chapter 6 are missing the WCF service folder and its files. The *.sln file is looking for WCFServiceWebRole1\AzureMortgageService.csproj and there isn't such a folder or file. Note from the Author or Editor: |

There is a whole set of missing steps here connected with creating a list. You have to create a list named "Azure Images" and give it a Link column (SharePoint column type hyperlink), a Coolness column (type Choice), and a Notes column (type multiple lines of test). To get your list to match the screen shot on p. 151, you also have to rename the Title column to "Name". Note from the Author or Editor: |

There's a missing step here after step 14. You need to add the two cross domain policy XML files from the top of p. 51 to the folder where you published the WCF service. E.g., C:\AzureBlobService |

There's a step missing here. Between steps 13 and 14, you need to add a reference in the project to the System.Xml.Linq assembly. |

Some text that is not bolded also needs to be added; for example, the "sdk" namespace declaration and the DesignerWidth. You really should replace all of the contents of MainPage.xaml with the whole of the code sample in this step. |

Before you close the Add Web Site dialog, you need to click Test Settings to verify that your service user is both authenticated and authorized to read the folder to which you published the service. ON A TYPICAL SHAREPOINT DEVELOPMENT MACHINE, IT WILL NOT BE AUTHROIZED. If it is not, either give the user the needed sharing permissions to the folder or use the Connect As button on the Add Web Site dialog to change the service user to one who already has the needed permissions.

This step is way too rushed and leaves out much. I recommend replacing it with the following: Note from the Author or Editor: |

Printed | Page 138 between step 4 and step 5 |
There is a missing step between steps 4 and 5. You have to open the *.svc file in Visual Studio and change the "Service1" to "GetAzrueDataStorage". Otherwise, IIS throws an exception that it can't find a type named "Service1". |

With SDK 1.4, a reference to Microsoft.WindowsAzure.StorageClient.DLL is already part of the project when it is created so it cannot be added here. |

This procedure has us add the service reference twice. Once in steps 5-7 and then again, with a different name, in steps 9-11. This is redundant. Steps 9-11 should be deleted. Note from the Author or Editor: |
