I am starting with Windows Azure. I have an Azure account with Microsoft and would like to use it from my Visual Studio project
In the Azure management portal, I can see the primary access key and secondary access key. However Visual Studio needs the account name and account key.
Are these related or am I missing something? If so, how can I get my account name and account key from the Azure management portal?

Select Azure Active Directory from the menu. Then, locate the Manage section on the menu and select Properties. The Properties page also displays a user's associated Tenant ID.
A storage account provides a unique namespace in Azure for your data. Every object that you store in Azure Storage has a URL address that includes your unique account name. The combination of the account name and the service endpoint forms the endpoints for your storage account.
The first step to using Azure is to sign up. You may sign up directly through Azure.com, with the help of a Microsoft representative, or through a partner. If you're new to Azure, you may sign up for an Azure free account to start exploring with $200 USD free credit and free services.
If you're referring to a Windows Azure Storage account, the storage account name would be the dns prefix you created (e.g. mystorage.blob.core.windows.net - the name would be mystorage).
You then get two keys - primary and secondary. Specify either. You have two so you can give one out to someone (such as giving the secondary key to a 3rd-party monitoring company) and revoke it by changing the key, without impacting you (assuming you're using the primary key for yourself).

The user interface changed a little bit but it's generally the same place:
Note that on the right side of the key you have a Connection String. There you can clearly see the name and the key as well.
