There is one trick. Perhaps someone will come in handy. Azure Worker Role builder includes files that marked as "Copy". But app.config will be transform in WorkerRole1.dll.config (or some else), that is not exists in design-time. To cheat VS:

Unload role project .csproj.

Find ItemGroup section with including files in project. I have next few:

  Designer


  app.config


  app.config
  Designer

Then set before or after:

  Always
  WorkerRole1.dll.config

This trick says to builder "WorkerRole1.dll.config" is exists as a link, this one will be obtained after build (and transformations) and include in WorkerRole package.
