install custom odbc driver on asp.net web app

Question

I have an issue whereby I would like a user who is accessing a web application hosted in Azure to directly request what ID's are currently available from a remote database and then make a request based on that info. Locally, how I do this is install an ODBC driver into our system then I can make calls to that driver using an ODBC connection within C#.

How would I do this in an ASP.Net web application located in Azure? This is really new territory for me so if you can reply with explicit instructions that would be greatly appreciated.

If I am not clear happy to elaborate...

Is your web app hosted on Azure Virtual Machine IIS or as a Azure App Service Web App? — juvchan, Mar 19 '16 at 04:59
Hi @Danrex, did you have any luck with this...? I'm wondering if the same thing is possible in an Azure web app. — Sambo, Nov 20 '16 at 23:25

I think what you're looking for is similar to this You'd have to install the driver necessary before doing the call or during startup.
