#3 Complete 'Publish Application to Windows Azure Portal'

[jeff00seattle]

The only difference between menu-items 'Launch Windows Azure Portal' and 'Publish Application to Windows Azure Portal' is that second menu-item performs 'Package Application' and nothing more.

I think that the order of the menu-items should be:
'Run in Development Fabric'
'Package Application' [with or without Refresh]
'Launch Windows Azure Portal'

‘Publish Application to Windows Azure Portal’ is not completed yet. It can upload the azure package to azure portal website, and start the azure application.

With this feature, you don't need to go the portal website in browser to upload the azure application.
