Deploying a Service to the Development Fabric
After you have run CSPack to package the service for local deployment, ensure that you have taken the necessary steps to configure and run development storage, if your service uses the storage services. For information about configuring development storage, see About Development Storage.
After you have packaged your service and started development storage, call the CSRun command line tool to deploy the service to the development fabric. For more information about using CSRun, see CSRun Command-Line Tool.
Calling CSRun starts the development fabric if it is not yet running. When the fabric starts up, a system tray icon appears. You can right-click this icon to display the development fabric UI, to start or shut down the development fabric, and to exit the utility.
Note that calling CSRun requires administrative privileges. If you are not calling CSRun from an elevated command prompt, you'll be prompted with two User Access Control (UAC) prompts each time you start up the developer fabric.
To launch an additional service deployment to the development fabric, call CSRun again. Each deployment appears in the developer fabric UI. Note that the development fabric UI does not support launching additional service deployments.
To update the service configuration, call CSRun with the /update option. It's not possible to update the service configuration from the development fabric.
