You can use Spread for ASP.NET in a Windows Azure project. Use the following steps:

1.  Copy the fp\_client folder to your WebRole project folder.
2.  Include this fp\_client folder in your WebRole project and add the following setting to the web.config file.
    
    ```xml
    <appSettings>
    <add key="fp_client" value="fp_client"/>
    </appSettings>
    ```
    

You do not need to edit web.config if you use the development fabric in Visual Studio.

You can also use the Chart control in a Windows Azure project. You would need to add the ChartImageHttpHandler to the web server section of the web.config file. If you are using integrated managed pipeline mode, set **validateIntegratedModeConfiguration** to False. For example:

```xml
<system.webServer>
<validation validateIntegratedModeConfiguration="false"/>
<handlers>
...
<add name="chart" path="FpChart.axd" verb="*" type="FarPoint.Web.Chart.ChartImageHttpHandler"/>
```
