在开发环境中获取Azure服务属性错误

Question

I would like to set the DefaultServiceVersion for my azure storage instance, so I wrote the following code:

CloudStorageAccount storageAccount = CloudStorageAccount.Parse(
    CloudConfigurationManager.GetSetting("CloudStorageConnectionString"));

CloudBlobClient blobClient = storageAccount.CreateCloudBlobClient();
var serviceProperties = blobClient.GetServiceProperties();
if (serviceProperties.DefaultServiceVersion != "2011-08-18")
{
    serviceProperties.DefaultServiceVersion = "2011-08-18";
    blobClient.SetServiceProperties(serviceProperties);
}

I then tried to run it with the development storage server, and got an exception (erroring in the dev server by the looks) from blobClient.GetServiceProperties()

Microsoft.WindowsAzure.StorageClient.StorageServerException was unhandled by user code

Is it possible to set the DefualtServiceVersion with a dev server? I haven't tried with the real thing as I really only want to test if this solves another issue I'm having.

Based on the documentation here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsazure/microsoft.windowsazure.storage.blob.cloudblobclient.getserviceproperties.aspx (scroll down to "Remarks" section), this operation is not currently supported on local storage. Also SetServiceProperties operation which enables/disables storage analytics is also not supported.
