Hello Glenn,
Thanks for the clean description and i understand what you say. Both
roles has their own kind of application where they are implemented.
But i am creating a website in which i want Grid View, Email Service
at some pages and some other parts that are in WebRole, also i have
another node chat application which is implemented in Worker Role. Now
i want to create a complete website which has Grid View, Email Service
and Chat functionality so for this i have to merger Web Role and
Worker Role, I am trying that but it give me error always.

Appreciate your help!!

Thanks.
