Azure Table Storage - don’t use forward slash / character in PartitionKey or RowKey

 You’ll get the following error: “One of the request inputs is out of range.”

Characters Disallowed in Key Fields:

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
