I mostly use my website blog as a reference more then anything else. I’m still learning and new to blogging and I feel I still have a long way to go. It’s tough for me to find good new content to blog about. So in a new twist I think I’m going to start a string of series that explain intermediate and advanced topics about C# and other various technologies that I use in my career.

I hope that I can provide myself and others with some good blogging. Here is a rough estimate of the series I have planned for subsequent blogs. Interlaced with anything I feel might be important to blog about in-between.

  • Object Orientated Programming
  • Events
  • C# Flow Control Suggestions
  • Exceptions oh my!

Microsoft.WindowsAzure.StorageClient.StorageClientException: One of the request inputs is out of range.

If you get:
Microsoft.WindowsAzure.StorageClient.StorageClientException: One of the request inputs is out of range.

In my endpoint I labeled my AccountName as "JoshDevStorage" but the AccountName only allows all lowercase letters so after changing it to "joshdevstorage" it worked.

How to see your Azure Developer Storage using TableXplorer

As I mentioned previously I have began working with Microsoft Azure's Cloud Solution. One of the tools I found to add to my arsenal for Azure is named TableXplorer which you can download from here: 

http://clumsyleaf.com/products/tablexplorer/

It's a great free tool to use when working with Tables. 

NOTE: For working with BLOBs and Queues you can use WindowsAzure MMC.

Once I downloaded the tool, I wanted to view my dev storage in the provided DeveloperFabric (Which hosts a cloud on your local development box). 

To do so:

1: Open up TableXplorer

2: Select File --> Accounts

3. Select New and enter the following information

      3.1. Name: "devstoreaccount1"

      3.2. Secret Key: "Eby8vdM02xNOcqFlqUwJPLlmEtlCDXJ1OUzFT50uSRZ6IFsuFq2UVErCz4I6tq/K1SZFPTOtr/KBHBeksoGMGw=="

 

 

You should be able to see your devstore storage now.
