Error deploying asp.net mvc 3 projects to Windows Azure web site

Question

I have an asp.net mvc 3 project and a separate BusinessLayer project included in the solution. When I'm trying to deploy my site to Azure via local git repository, I'm getting the following error: '<remote_path>\BusinessLayer\BusinessLayer.csproj' is not a deployable project.. No other information is provided in logs. Site perfectly deploys on my local server. So I want to know at least some possible reasons why this error occurs. Thanks in advance.

Here's my .csproj file, if necessary:

You may need to tell Azure exactly which project it should deploy, which you can do using a .deployment file at the root of your project. e.g.

[config]
project = WebProject/WebProject.csproj

Please see this page for more information about this.

Sounds like you're trying to deploy the BusinessLayer project and not the Website project. As long as your MVC site project has a reference to BusinessLayer, just deploy the website. BusinessLayer will be included as a reference. You can't deploy BusinessLayer by itself, as it is a library and not an application.
