You have to set the Cloud Service project as Startup Project. And then add this worker class library as Worker Role to the Cloud Service Project.

yeah, but I am thinking how to test it with unit tests? Should I reference the worker role into test project then? – Absolutely

Yep. For testing you shall reference the Worker Role project. Well the way I do is to abstract my core workers into a separate class library. Then I reference this class library into both Worker Role and Test projects. – Marijn
