Thanks for the Article. Do you think this approach, Connect to Azure Sql Database over the internet, could be used as a primary backend database for a production .net program running on a windows desktop?
I.E. The program is running on the desktop but connecting to the Azure Database via ADO.Net.
Or is the latency too much?
I know I would have to test but if the Azure Database Connection is not intended for remote apps the I need not try. 

TIA, Don
