Lost method since upgrading to Azure Storage

Question

I cant find a method since I upgraded the Azure storage dlls.

The static method I cant find is: CloudTableClient.CreateTablesFromModel

The old class: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.windowsazure.storageclient.cloudtableclient_methods.aspx

This is the new class: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.windowsazure.storage.table.cloudtableclient_methods.aspx

I did some searching but couldn't find a word about this being replaced or deleted.

Does anybody have an idea?

Answer 1

Storage client library 2.0 is quite different from the previous version and a number of methods have been removed in the newer version. This method is one of them. If you look under the remarks section on this page: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.windowsazure.storageclient.cloudtableclient.createtablesfrommodel.aspx , it is recommended that you not use this method.

Since these 2 versions are quite different, it is recommended that you read up the following blog posts from the storage team before upgrading your code to use the latest version:

I also wrote a blog post about migrating code from storage client library 1.7 to 2.0 which you can read here: http://gauravmantri.com/2012/11/17/storage-client-library-2-0-migrating-table-storage-code/
