Azure TableStorage HowTo?

Question

I want to store Contacts on to Azure table(name and gender as a property). so I basically two classes . the one which derives from the TableSerivceContext and the other from TableServiceEntity. now I cant connect the pieces. What I will really do at the cotroller(I use MVC3)

tnx for any hint?

Answer 1

im assuming that you are receiving the properties (name and gender) via post from a view.
so your controller might be like this

public ActionResult DoSomething(User model)
{

}

so what you need to do is.. that. make a new ofject of the class thats derived from the TableServiceEntity. and assign the Properties. like this

var tableUser = new TableUser(){Name = model.Name, Gender=model.Gender}

then from the class derived from TableServiceContext make an object. and use AddObject() method to add the user to the table
