InsertEntity Method

Inserts a new entity into a table.

Syntax

[VB.NET]
Public Sub InsertEntity(ByVal PartitionKey As String, ByVal RowKey As String)

[C#]
public void InsertEntity(string partitionKey, string rowKey);

Remarks

This method inserts a new entity into a table.

The PartitionKey and RowKey parameters must be specified. the Azure Table service uses these values to construct a primary key which must be unique within the table.

The PartitionKey and RowKey may each have a value up to 64 KB in size. The Azure Table service will perform sorting based on the name of the keys. If you are using a numeric value you should pad the value with 0's to create a fixed-width string to ensure proper sorting. For instance you should convert the value 1 to 0000001.
