# CarTrackr on Windows Azure - Part 3 - Data storage

**[Maarten Balliauw](https://daily.dev/sources/maartenballiauw)** · 5 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Part 3 of a series converting an ASP.NET MVC application (CarTrackr) into a Windows Azure cloud app, this post covers implementing Azure Table Storage. It explains the three Azure storage types (blobs, tables, queues), walks through configuring the storage account in ServiceConfiguration.cscfg, creating a TableStorageDataServiceContext and TableStorageEntity-derived domain classes, auto-creating tables on app start via Global.asax, and querying/inserting data with LINQ and AddObject/SaveChanges. It closes noting Table Storage's limitations at the time, such as lack of decimal/custom type support and missing ordering/join features, which required repository code changes.
