Does PartitionKey and RowKey in Azure Table Storage have to be string?
I suspect so,开发者_开发百科 as the abstract class TableServiceEntity have the following:
public virtual string PartitionKey { get; set; }
public virtual string RowKey { get; set; }
What if I want a RowKey that is a DateTime or a Double?
yes, these are both strings.
If you want the RowKey to be a DateTime or a Double then you must use a string representation.
There are a few common patterns for this. For DateTime, it's common to see the DateTime represented using a string that is conveniently sorted:
- DateTime.Ticks.ToString("d19")
or
- (DateTime.MaxValue.Ticks - DateTime.Ticks).ToString("d19")
