Adding entities to a table

After creating the table, Weather, we need to populate it with entities. In the .NET library, entities are mapped to C# objects. The library defines the ITableEntity interface which should be implemented by all classes representing entities.

The ITableEntity interface defines the following properties:

• PartitionKey: It is a string for the partition key of the an entity

• RowKey: It is a string for the row key

• Timestamp: It is a DateTime offset for the last update on the entity

• ETag: It is an entity tag for managing concurrency

The library also contains two classes that implement ITableEntity.

The TableEntity is a base class that can be inherited by custom classes. The DynamicTableEntity is a class that holds an IDictionary<String,EntityProperty> property named Properties that is used to store properties inside it.

Now, let's define our custom entity by inheriting from the TableEntity base class:

  public class WeatherEntity : TableEntity
  {
    public WeatherEntity...
