How to update the connection string in TableServiceClient

Question

I am using this code

TableServiceClient serviceClient = new TableServiceClient("ConnectionString");

How can I update the connection string after the TableServiceClient creation?

Answer 1

There is no direct way to update the connection string after creating a TableServiceClient instance in the Azure Storage Client Library for .NET. However, you can create a new TableServiceClient instance with the updated connection string and use that instance instead.

First, make sure you have the Azure SDK for .NET installed in your project.

Install-Package Azure.Data.Tables

Create a new TableServiceClient with the updated connection string. You can specify the connection string when creating the client object and Use the tableServiceClient object to interact with your Azure Table Storage

Here is the full code

    using Azure.Data.Tables;
    using System;
    
    class Program
    {
        static void Main()
        {
            string currentConnectionString = "InitialConnectionString";
    
            // Create the initial TableServiceClient
            TableServiceClient serviceClient = new TableServiceClient(currentConnectionString);
    
            Console.WriteLine("Initial TableServiceClient created.");
    
            string newConnectionString = "NewConnectionString";
    
            // Create a new TableServiceClient with the updated connection string
            serviceClient = new TableServiceClient(newConnectionString);
    
            Console.WriteLine("New TableServiceClient created with updated connection string.");
    
            string tableName = "YourTableName";
            TableClient tableClient = serviceClient.GetTableClient(tableName);
    
            tableClient.CreateIfNotExists();
    
            Console.WriteLine($"Table '{tableName}' created or already exists with the updated connection string.");
        }
    }

Result
