The Azure Functions project template in Visual Studio creates a project that can be published to a function app in Azure. A function app lets you group functions as a logical unit for management, deployment, and sharing of resources.

  1. In Visual Studio, select New > Project from the File menu.

  2. In the New Project dialog, select Installed, expand Visual C# > Cloud, select Azure Functions, type a Name for your project, and click OK. The function app name must be valid as a C# namespace, so don't use underscores, hyphens, or any other nonalphanumeric characters.

    Setting Suggested value Description
    Version Azure Functions 2.x
    (.NET Core)    		 This creates a function project that uses the version 2.x runtime of Azure Functions which supports .NET Core. Azure Functions 1.x supports the .NET Framework. For more information, see How to target Azure Functions runtime version.
    Template HTTP trigger This creates a function triggered by an HTTP request.
    Storage account Storage Emulator An HTTP trigger doesn't use the Storage account connection. All other trigger types require a valid Storage account connection string.
    Access rights Anonymous The created function can be triggered by any client without providing a key. This authorization setting makes it easy to test your new function. For more information about keys and authorization, see Authorization keys in the HTTP and webhook bindings.

  4. Click OK to create the function project and HTTP triggered function.
