title: My database is not working when I deploy MVC 5 application to Windows Azure
body: <p>I have built a MVC-5 application in Visual Studio Express for Web 2013. I am using localdb which contains a few tables. I am using code first migrations and I have set up a seed method. When I run the application locally it runs perfectly but my problem occurs when I try to deploy the application to Windows Azure.</p>
  
  <p>I have set up an account at Windows Azure and created a free 20MB SQL database. The application appears to deploy without any problems but when I try to use the application "An error occurred while processing your request" is displayed on the screen.</p>
  
  <p>Some pages work fine but the error seems to appear on any page that interacts with database data. In Visual Studio the SQL database doesn't show in Server Explorer. I don't understand what is causing the error.</p>
