Method	Description
GetValidPartitionKey ( this name ) : String	Gets a valid azure identifier for partition keys. The following characters are not allowed in values for the PartitionKey and RowKey properties: The forward slash (/) character The backslash (\) character The number sign (#) character The question mark (?) character http://blogs.msdn.com/b/windowsazurestorage/archive/2012/05/28/partitionkey-or-rowkey-containing-the-percent-character-causes-some-windows-azure-tables-apis-to-fail.aspx Also the % character while allowed by Azure presents problems on retrieval due to double decoding by Azure.
GetValidRowKey ( this name ) : String	Gets a valid azure identifier for row keys. The following characters are not allowed in values for the PartitionKey and RowKey properties: The forward slash (/) character The backslash (\) character The number sign (#) character The question mark (?) character http://blogs.msdn.com/b/windowsazurestorage/archive/2012/05/28/partitionkey-or-rowkey-containing-the-percent-character-causes-some-windows-azure-tables-apis-to-fail.aspx Also the % character while allowed by Azure presents problems on retrieval due to double decoding by Azure.
GetValidTableName ( this name ) : String	Gets a valid azure identifier for table names by trimming out invalid characters. If the name is still invalid, then an exception occurs. See remarks for naming rules. Table names must be unique within an account. Table names may contain only alphanumeric characters. Table names cannot begin with a numeric character. Table names are case-insensitive. Table names must be from 3 to 63 characters long. Some table names are reserved, including "tables". Attempting to create a table with a reserved table name returns error code 404 (Bad Request). http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsazure/dd179338.aspx These rules are also described by the regular expression "^[A-Za-z][A-Za-z0-9]{2,62}$". Table names preserve the case with which they were created, but are case-insensitive when used.
