Windows Azure Storage connection strings

Windows Azure Storage Client Library

Local Emulator

If you’re using the Windows Azure Emulator, you can shortcut the connection string.

UseDevelopmentStorage=true;

Some version of the SDK is case sensitive, write "true" in lower case and use correct casing for "UseDevelopmentStorage" otherwise it can cause a "No valid combination of account information found" error.

Local Emulator using Standard format

If you prefer to keep the connection string consistent with the standard format, the local emulators credentials can be hard coded.
