I'm investigating what's involved in deploying an ASP.NET MVC web application to Azure as an App Service, using Web Deploy from Visual Studio 2015.
The MVC web application uses SQL Server for the identity database in the standard fashion, so I can see how to point that at an Azure-hosted database server.
In addition, it has some 'legacy' data in DBF files in the App_Data folder, accessed on my development PC via OLEDB.
This scenario is obviously going to fail on deployment because whatever box(es) the site ends up hosted on won't have this OLEDB driver installed.
Is this a complete non-runner or is there some way of installing the driver?
You can't install ODBC or OleDB drivers when using App Service, you need to look at Virtual Machines.
