No Convert (to Cloud Service) Menu Item for My Web Application in Visual Studio

There's no Convert menu option for my MVC web application in Visual Studio 2015 when I right-click on my web application. The Azure templates are already there in Visual Studio as seen below, so I guess the Azure SDK is already installed in Visual Studio. Why can't I convert my web app to cloud service?

I have Microsoft Azure App Service Tools v.2.9.1 - Visual Studio 2015 installed.

Solution

  • According to your description, I have checked this issue on my side. The Target framework of my MVC applications target over .NET Framework 4.6+, and I found I also could not see the Convert menu as follows:

    Then, I searched the web and found a similar issue. Based my test, I found if I downgrade the .NET Framework lower than 4.6, then I could see the The Convert, Convert to Azure Cloud Service Project command and I could convert my web application to cloudservice and deplopy to azure successfully.
