I have been struggling to find some resources that help explain, how we use the File Storage with Web App Service.
There are ways to use it with the old Web Roles, Check here (Using the Azure File Service in your Cloud Services (Web and Worker Roles)).
However, there is NO OnStart() methods in "Azure Web Service".
If you're looking for mapping a drive to your Azure File Service share in your Web App using SMB protocol, then I don't think you can do as of today.
What you could do is make use of Azure File Service REST API and manipulate shares and files that way. You don't have to actually use the REST API per se; you can simply use the latest version of .Net Storage Client library which is a wrapper over REST API.
Please see this link for more details on how to use this using Storage Client library: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-in/documentation/articles/storage-dotnet-how-to-use-files/.
Yes, you can. In Linux Web Apps and Windows Containers Web Apps only.
In the Web App, under Application Settings you will find Mount storage (Preview) section where you can mount Storage account. Works like a charm.

I faced with follow problem hope I can find the way for solving with your help.
I created follow Azure resources:
WebApp Service (Asp.Net Core web application)
FileStorage
VirtualNetwork
All resources created in one resources group. I trying to upload file from my WebApp to File storage via VNet (I need to secure storage so it must be unaccessable from outside internet).
Virtual Network have subnet, wich have setup a Microsoft.Storage - Service endpoints. This sub net is included In Storage firewall settings.
For work with Azure storage I use Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage package.
When I trying to get access to storage from webapp I get 403 error.
For access I use 'primary file service endpoint' - https://myaccount.file.core.windows.net/
What I have missed ?
Thnx for any advice !
Azure File shares can’t be accessed from Azure App Service web apps. Refer this feedback item where the feature was declined.
I'm new to azure, and I'm trying to setup a single page website(web api 2). How can I limit access to my services so only my website can use it?
I know that I can use app services to setup my web applications/services but as far as i understand it will be open to everyone.
I also read about APIs, but Api management service seems very expensive and advanced for such a simple task. Is there any options? Am I in the wrong track?
Update
Ok, I saw the link for filtering based on IP. But as I've mentioned that single page application also is hosted on Azure. There is no static IP. If that is the way, I still need to know how you will find out about the IPRange.
App Service to use different authentication providers Azure Active Directory,Facebook,Google,Microsoft,Twitter.
We can set any type of Authentication/Authorization in the Azure Portal.More info about how to use authentication for API Apps in Azure App Service, please refer to document.
I wanted to host my WebApi project on azure. But I am not getting sure which way should i use to run it on azure. Like there are Websites, Cloud Services that contain Web role and Worker role. Then which one should i choose. If cloud service is the option then which one out of Web role and worker role is good?
Any help is appreciated.
For hosting a simple web API (that you can scale according to usage, etc.) you'll want to use Websites. Assuming you're not looking for more complex / heavy-weight features (network configuration, more complex architectures e.g. offloading background processing different instances via queueing mechanisms, RDP into the host machine, etc.), then Websites are becoming the de-facto way to host websites on Azure.
The following page from the Azure documentation will give you a full feature comparison between the two:
http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/choose-web-site-cloud-service-vm/, but in short, if you simply have a web API project in VS that you want to host in Azure without worrying about the underlying infrastructure, then use Websites.
If you only want to host a Headless (No Web Interface) Web API, I recommend you using Azure Web Service - Web Role.
For Worker Role, it is like a console application that you want to use it to process background task. Normally, we use it to process from Message Queue (Azure Service Bus - Queue).
Azure create a Optimize VM to run those two type of Roles with no unnecessary junks. So you will get the most of it.
However, I still suggest you to read more detail document from azure website to see what environment which is best fit for your long term plan.
You need to login in Azure (https://manage.windowsazure.com) -> Web Sites -> Create New
After that you will find the Name of the Web Site Under the Web Sites.
Click Web Sites -> Select New Created Web Site -> Go TO -> Deployement
In Deployement -> Find -> Integrate source control
Select Appropriate Option i.e GitHub or Dropbox etc..
Using Dropbox => Now Publish your WebApi Project and Paste that Data into Dropbox Folder With the same name of your New Created Web Site in Azure
After Upload Go To -> Azure -> Select Web Site -> Deployement -> Sync.
It will take all the data from Dropbox and You can run your WebApi Project From Azure

I have code that parses 100 to 200 html webpages using HtmlAgilityPack every hour. I am collecting the parsed data and I am making an xml file which would then be consumed by users.
Now I want to move this code to Azure. Would it be possible to parse websites on Windows azure? If so: what kind of service provided by Azure should I use?
I am not familiar with Azure. Any hints would be appreciated. Thanks.
Azure offers you a couple of solutions:
IaaS
IaaS or Infrastructure as a Service. This means that you get the infrastructure from Azure and that you can host your own virtual machine on it. This does require you to maintain the server yourself but you get full flexibility.
PaaS or Platform as a Service. This not only gives you a VM to run your code on but also an operating system that is automatically maintained for you. This is what Azure is really about and what you should aim for.
When creating a PaaS application you can choose for a regular website or for a cloud service. A cloud service contains roles, web roles and worker roles. Web roles are regular IIS hosted websites. Worker roles are the Azure equivalent of a Windows service.
In your case I would look at worker roles. They can run continually and are ideal for exeucting scheduled operations. From your worker role you can access Azure Blob storage to store the XML files that you create. Those files can be exposed to external users in a secure way.
Windows Azure is a hosting environment. According to what kind of project you created, you may be looking for a Cloud Service, where you can just host any code you've written.
Below is the task i have to complete in a few weeks, my question is does anyone know of any tutorials or books which will be of use to me? I also only have little knowledge of C#.
You will design the relevant code in ASP.NET and C# so that you can
deploy a web role on Azure that can:
a) read in a zip file from input on the web page
b) uncompress the zip file which will have an executable, an
arbitrary list of arguments and data files
c) run the executable with the arguments (and hence read in the
data files).
d) store the output logs for access later.
You will test this by running a piece of code that reads in a set of
arguments which correspond to test files.
The executable will then read in the text files and then print them
out.
You will also have to design an appropriate UML to explain how the
different classes you have written interact.
You can deploy your service/role to Azure using Service Management API. Write a module which does the deployment and call this in your web.
Check these links that may help you.

The Windows Azure Accelerator for Web Roles makes it quick and easy
for you to deploy one or more websites across multiple Web Role
instances using Web Deploy. The accelerator includes a Visual Studio
project template that creates a Windows Azure web role to host one or
more websites.

Hope these help you to get an idea that you want to implement.
That's hard homework: Upload a zip file to a cloud based server and run the .exe. Interesting...
Anyway, the Azure SDK is a great place to start. Also scan through Smarx's Cloud Cover shows. They cover pretty much everything.
