I have VS2012 Ultimate SP3 and a Windows Azure account. I have published an MVC 3 application, using an Azure SQL Server DB without problems. I have installed the Azure SDK (v2.1) and can access the database and web site through the Server Explorer.
I have now created an Azure Storage Container however, I am unable to access it through VS2012 Server Explorer. I get an error dialog titled "Storage Account Key Required" stating "The current storage account key is invalid. Please provide a new storage account key." I try re-entering the key and get the same error.
I have checked the key and it is valid. I have tried accessing the Azure Storage, using that same key, through a third party product and it works fine.
I've tried the usual uninstall / re-install, delete Azure Storage and re-create, create new and different container, all to no avail.
Does anyone know why I get this error or, even better, how to fix it?
TIA
