Note: This sample uses the .NET 4.5 asynchronous programming model to demonstrate how to call the Storage Service using the storage client libraries asynchronous API's. When used in real applications this approach enables you to improve the responsiveness of your application. Calls to the storage service are prefixed by the await keyword.

Azure Cosmos DB Table API

NOTE: This sample will not work against tables in table account created during the preview period. It will only work against tables created in table accounts created after GA on 11/15/2017.

  1. Go to your Azure Cosmos DB Table API instance in the Azure Portal and select "Connection String" in the menu, select the Read-write Keys tab and copy the value in the "CONNECTION STRING" field.
  2. Open the App.config file and set StorageConnectionString to your connection string.
  3. Load the project in Visual Studio (the community version is available for free)
  4. Run

Azure Table storage

This sample can be run using either the Azure Storage Emulator that installs as part of this SDK - or by updating the App.Config file with your connection string.

To run the sample using the Storage Emulator (default option):

  1. Download and Install the Azure Storage Emulator here.
  2. Start the Azure Storage Emulator (once only) by pressing the Start button or the Windows key and searching for it by typing "Azure Storage Emulator". Select it from the list of applications to start it.
  3. Open App.config and set the value of StorageConnectionString to "UseDevelopmentStorage=true;"
  4. Load the project in Visual Studio (the community version is available for free)
  5. Run

To run the sample using the Storage Service:

  1. Go to your Azure Storage account in the Azure Portal and under "SETTINGS" click on "Access keys". Copy either key1 or key2's "CONNECTION STRING".
  2. Open the app.config file and comment out the connection string for the emulator (UseDevelopmentStorage=True) and uncomment the connection string for the storage service (AccountName=[]...)
  3. Load the project in Visual Studio (the community version is available for free)
  4. Run
