Get all records from azure table storage

Question

Using this code block

try
{
    StorageCredentials creds = new StorageCredentials(accountName, accountKey);
    CloudStorageAccount account = new CloudStorageAccount(creds, useHttps: true);

    CloudTableClient client = account.CreateCloudTableClient();
    CloudTable table = client.GetTableReference("serviceAlerts");

    TableOperation retrieveOperation = TableOperation.Retrieve<ServiceAlertsEntity>("ServiceAlerts", "b9ccd839-dd99-4358-b90f-46781b87f933");

    TableResult query = table.Execute(retrieveOperation);

    if (query.Result != null)
    {
        outline = outline + ((ServiceAlertsEntity) query.Result).alertMessage + " * ";
    }
    else
    {
        Console.WriteLine("No Alerts");
    }
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
    Console.WriteLine(ex);
}

I am able to retrieve the single record with the partition and rowkey mentioned in the retrieve.

Is there a way I can get all the records that are stored in the partition of ServiceAlerts?

I have tried a wildcard (*) for the second parameter

TableOperation retrieveOperation = TableOperation.Retrieve<ServiceAlertsEntity>(
      "ServiceAlerts","b9ccd839-dd99-4358-b90f-46781b87f933");

but it does not return anything.

You need to specify a TableQuery, this will give you all entities or you can specify a TableQuery.GenerateFilterCondition to filter the rows.

TableQuery<ServiceAlertsEntity> query = new TableQuery<ServiceAlertsEntity>();

foreach (ServiceAlertsEntity entity in table.ExecuteQuery(query))
{
    Console.WriteLine("{0}, {1}\t{2}\t{3}", entity.PartitionKey, entity.RowKey,
                        entity.Field1, entity.Field2);
}
