Yes, you can run your application locally: Select the Azure application project in the Solution Explorer, right click, "Set as StartupUp Project" and run

To Publish: goto https://manage.windowsazure.com/ . Create a new web role and download the publishing settings.

Well for what I see your problem is not your windows azure sdk, the thing is that you are creating a WorkerRole project which is a Class Library type and that won't give you an output, for that you need to create a WebRole project.

here I let you this tutorial, it would show you how to create your first WebRole project.

And this one would show you how to deploy on the cloud

What type of application are you trying to build? Your error is because you are trying to run a class library, which isn't an executable.

There are primarily two types of applications that are hosted in Azure:

  1. Website - These are just standard ASP.NET WebForms or MVC projects, hosted on Azure. These are the easiest to get going, and with the latest Azure release, require nothing special. Simply create a Web project, and git deploy to your Azure Web Site

  2. Worker Role - Worker roles are usually for background tasks like performing computations, sending emails, distributing work, etc. These can effectively be thought of as console applications that never end.

For example:

while(true)
{
    // do work here
    Thread.Sleep(5000);
}

When developing Azure applications, you need to either create a website (WebForms, MVC, WebAPI), a WCF service, or a console application to run as a background worker. Once you've built the application locally, then you can add an Azure Cloud project, which will handle the actual deployments.
