Could someone please confirm whether it's possible to make user of Azure Dedicated Cache using normal console application OR it should be the azure project?

By Dedicated Cache, do you mean "In Role Cache" or "Windows Azure Caching Service" (which is in Preview currently)? Sorry about such dumb question but terminology is confusing :) – Gaurav Mantri Nov 23 '13 at 05:56

If you're using In Role caching, then it would only work from within your roles that too within the roles in your cloud service. You can't use In Role cache outside of your roles.
If you want your cache to be accessible from outside of your roles, you may want to look into Windows Azure Caching Service which is in preview currently. From whatever documentation I have read about it, my understanding is that this cache can be shared among various cloud resources (Cloud Services, Web Sites, VM etc.). Going by that, I would assume that this cache should be available to your console application also. Check out this blog post from Scott Guthrie: http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2013/09/03/windows-azure-new-distributed-dedicated-high-performance-cache-service-more-cool-improvements.aspx.

You can have a console app for development purposes, but if you want to access with a decent latency, you would anyway have to use cloud.
