从UWP应用程序访问Azure表存储的首选方法是什么？

Question

UWP apps are supported by the Azure Storage SDK, but only a few methods for reading from Azure table storage are implemented. For example, the most basic query on a table is typically done using the CloudTable.ExecuteQuery method, but that method isn't exposed to UWP apps. In fact, the only query method that seems to be implemented is CloudTable.ExecuteQuerySegmentedAsync which is overkill for a simple query that returns 5 or 10 rows and will never need a token.

Is the storage SDK not the preferred means of UWP apps interacting with table storage? Is the SDK assuming that all UWP apps will ever need is tokenized and segmented queries?

Answer 1

UWP 10 apps are not yet officially supported by Azure Storage Client.

However, yes, our current Universal support has the maximal support overload ExecuteQuerySegmentedAsync. ExecuteQuery returns a lazy enumerable, and lazy enumerables do not exist in an Async paradigm.

Our support for Universal apps is only async at this time.

Answer 2

SDK methods are just a "shortcut". Under the hood them call Azure API. So you can create your queries and run directly over Azure REST API.
