Create a New Table in an Azure Storage Account

See more Azure Table Service Examples

Creates a new table using the Azure Table Service REST API. Visual Basic 6.0

Dim success As Long

' This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
' See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

' Implements the following CURL command:

' curl -X POST \
'   -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
'   -H "Accept: application/json;odata=fullmetadata" \
'   -H "Prefer: return-content" \
'   -d '{   
'     "TableName":"mytable"  
' }' https://myaccount.table.core.windows.net/Tables

' Use the following online tool to generate REST code from a CURL command
' Convert a cURL Command to REST Source Code

' IMPORTANT: Make sure to change "myaccount" to your actual Azure Storage Account name.
' URL: https://myaccount.table.core.windows.net/Tables

' Note: The application does not need to explicitly set the following
' headers: Content-Length, x-ms-date, Authorization.  These headers
' are automatically set by Chilkat.

' Note: The above code does not need to be repeatedly called for each REST request.
' The rest object can be setup once, and then many requests can be sent.  Chilkat will automatically
' reconnect within a FullRequest* method as needed.  It is only the very first connection that is explicitly
' made via the Connect method.
