Question

How can i get the last 100 records from the WADLogsTable Ordered by date ?

I tried to do it with this piece of code but it doesn’t work

                var query = (from entity in tsc.CreateQuery<LogsObject>("WADLogsTable")
                        where entity.PartitionKey.CompareTo(startTime.ToUniversalTime().Ticks.ToString("D19")) >= 0
                        orderby entity.EventTickCount descending
                        select entity);

Where tsc is the TableServiceContext.

I can get the records but i’m interested in the recents logs.

Thanks,

Windows Azure table storage doesn’t support sorting, so entities always come back sorted by their PartitionKey+RowKey. But I suspect the log entries are already in reverse chronological order. Aren’t they?

[EDIT] Apparently they’re not. 🙂
