address is not the same as Address
1 year ago
When using Windows Azure table storage – keep in mind the property names are case sensitive!
Yesterday one of our developers was working on refactoring some code. As is standard practice, they changed the class properties on the table storage entity classes from a lower case address to an upper case Address. This worked fine in the developer fabric, but when we pushed to the cloud the app broke. Upon investigation it turned out each entity now had an address property as well as the new Address property.
Easy fix, we changed everything back to lower case.

Windows Azure Firestarter on Channel 9
1 year ago
A few weeks back there was a Windows Azure Firestarter event in Redmond, which I had the pleasure of speaking at. If you are after a short look at the platform, then this is a great place to start, with speakers such as Brad Calder and David Robinson. Unfortunately it doesn’t look like the lap around Steve Marx did is actually available yet, but I’ll update this post when it is.
The videos are now available for consumption on Channel 9. You can watch or click to the videos below.

Yorkshire Puddings Recipe
1 year ago
No this is not a post about some bizarre cloud methodology. Although it would be a really good name. So unless you are hungry, please move on.
Yorkshire Puddings are an English recipe, some people would say from Yorkshire, which is essentially a egg/flour batter baked in the over to produce a light and fluffy treat that can be eaten with a traditional meat and vegetable dinner.
They look like the pictures below, depending upon the size of pan/tray you use.
The recipe is easy.
- 4 eggs
- Milk
- Flour
- 1/2 cup of water
- Salt & Pepper
Steps
- Crack the eggs into a measuring jug. Note the measure, then pour them into a bowl and whisk them up until fluffy.
- Measure the same amount of milk as you had eggs, and then mix into the eggs.
- Measure the same amount of flour as you had eggs, and then mix into the egg/milk mixture.
- Add a little salt and pepper.
- Leave to stand for an hour.
- Select a tray. You can use anything with deepish sides. I use either a large oven tray, or muffin tins for individual ones. You can also use cake tins which makes a great sized pudding to put your entire dinner in.
- Pre-heat the oven and a suitable tray to 425F with a couple of good lugs of oil. It should cover the bottom of the tray.
- Add the 1/2 cup of water to the mixture & stir.
- With the oil nice and hot, pour some of the mixture into the tray, make sure you have poured mixture into the corners.
- Pop into the oven for 12-15 minutes.
- Serve with meat.
Enjoy.
