Moving an application to the cloud (C# .NET)

[Lunawolfy]

Hey all,

Basically I'm looking to see if there is anyone here who has any experience with WCF and Web Services. I'm looking for some guidance for a final year programming module (only pointers etc!) at Uni which I am kinda struggling with :/

What exactly are you trying to do?

Do you have an application at the moment that you're trying to make cloud based?

Yes, a monitoring program which takes a text file and loads it into a list of class objects, which then polls at pre-defined intervals and returns an integer on the health of the data.

Does it actually need to run in the cloud or do you just want to separate things into a client and server?

One of the requirements is to move part of the program to Windows Azure and invoke the program as a reference to the web service.
