I am new to Windows Azure and SQL Azure and was wondering if there is a way that I can export the reports (on my reportserver) that I created and e-mail them to for example and administrator automatically like every week?
Kind Regards!
As you are new to both Windows Azure and SQL Azure, I would suggest the following:
SQL Azure Reporting is still in Preview (or CTP) mode so there are limited functionalities available.
SQL Azure reporting preview provides following 3 scenarios:
2.1 Embed Microsoft reports in Web or client applications
2.2 Design, publish, and view reports (.rdl) and report-related items on a SQL Azure Reporting report server.
2.3 Interact with the report server Web service by using SOAP API calls.
So when you are using SQL Azure Reporting Preview you can generate the reports however to send these reports via email you need a front end to take care of job or custom code running on-premise connected to SQL Azure Reporting service.
3.1 This front end could be a Windows Azure Web Role (using 3rd party email provider or online MS Exchange to send email) or your own SQL Azure reporting service sending emails by using custom code.
3.2 You can also write a client application talking to Reporting Service Web Service over SOAP to get reports and then email to required destination.
More information on SQL Azure Reporting Preview is here:

I assume your reportserver is running on Azure? Azure doesn't have an SMTP server so basically what you will need to do is
1) Use a third-party SMTP server (Gmail is free) to send out the emails. Azure recently have a deal with sendgrid who provide SMTP and email services as well.
2) Write a little application that runs in a worker role and periodically generates the reports and sends them out.

Recently I've created an account on oracle cloud and created a autonomous database processing, i have a simple .NET Core API, she connect on my cloud database using EF Core and returns select result in JSON format, on localhost works normally, my application was connect to database and returns my expected result.
When i publish the application on azure web app free plan, the application doesn't connect to my autonomous database, i think because i'm trying using a free plan, someone just tried do something? (Oracle Cloud + Azure Web APP)
It is possible that you are hitting the Azure Web App's sandbox restrictions. Some tips to troubleshoot:
Take a look at the documentation on this topic and see if it applies to your web app, https://github.com/projectkudu/kudu/wiki/Azure-Web-App-sandbox
Check if you can find the any errors via App Service Diagnostics, https://azure.github.io/AppService/2018/09/24/Announcing-the-New-App-Service-Diagnostics-Experience.html
I'm trying to connect to a SQL Azure database from the VS package manager console - e.g.
Update-Database -ConnectionString "Some connection string that let's me connect with AzureAD MFA" -ConnectionProviderName "System.Data.SqlClient"
The closest I got was using this connection string, but I got an error saying that MFA was required, which makes sense! Is there another way to specify the connection to authenticate via AAD and prompt me for MFA, similar to the way SSMS can do it?
As far as I known, you can use C# to connect Azure SQL database with the use who enables Azure AD MFA.The C# program uses the interactive mode of authentication, which supports Azure AD multi-factor authentication (MFA). For instance, a connection attempt can include a verification code being sent to your mobile phone. For more details, please refer to the official document.
I have an Azure Logic app that needs to connect to an on-premise Dynamics CRM instance.
I'd like to use the "Dynamics 365" connector so I had a look at this article
Connect to data sources on premises from logic apps with on-premises data gateway
But I can't see CRM as part of the supported data source.
For the moment, I plan to connect directly to CRM Sql Server database (available from the data gateway) but I am wondering if there is any workaround to use "Dynamics 365" connector to connect to an on-premise Dynamics CRM instance?
At the moment, the CRM connector does not support the on-prem data gateway. Another option is to use Custom Connectors and wrap your CRM Soap endpoints with it.
Custom Connectors support the on-prem data gateway, thus you can wrap your CRM Soap Endpoints with the Custom Connector and use either SOAP to REST or SOAP pass-through.
This is still in preview and the team are still working on the documentation, but it works :)

We are trying to send NServiceBus messages from a Microsoft Dynamics CRM plugin and running into issues like this:
Attempt by security transparent method [Our_Namespace].GetStandardBus(System.String)' to access security critical type 'NServiceBus.IBus' failed at [Our_Namespace].GetStandardBus(String endpointName)
The CRM plugins are running in the sandbox which means they are running as partial trust in IIS and we really want to keep it that way.
So my question is, is it possible to access NServiceBus from an IIS partial trust application?
Thanks,
Mark
Check out the Dynamics Adapter for NServiceBus:
https://github.com/ParticularLabs/NServiceBus.DynamicsAdapter
... contains an example application that demonstrates bi-directional integration between cloud hosted Dynamics 365 2016 and an on-premises NServiceBus system using Azure Service Bus Queues.
I'm a beginner of WP7, and I spent some time looking for solutions not only can consume
but also Insert/Update/Delete the data stored in SQL Azure.
I found a good tutorial here:
http://samidipbasu.com/2011/07/24/updating-odata-data-source-from-wp7-part-1/
However, the SQL Azure Lab no longer accepts registration.
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/sqlazurelabs/labs/odata.aspx
So, is there any other solution for directly accessing SQL Azure in the cloud without setting up a server?
Thank you.
have a look at Windows Azure Mobile Service, that should cover the server side.
you can then access the REST-based API from Windows Phone, see Using Azure Mobile Services with Windows Phone
