How do I insert CData value into azure table storage row

Question

Hi geeks,

I just can't insert a CData value into table row.

my new table entity is like

new Book { Description = new XCData("Asp.net<What>XXXXX</What>").ToString(), CreatedOn = DateTime.Now, })

and then I insert the book via context.

THe result:

<Properties><CreatedOn>2010-02-18T10:17:10.953Z</CreatedOn><Name>&lt;![CDATA[Asp.net&lt;What&gt;XXXXX&lt;/What&gt;]]&gt;</Name></Properties>

What I want is:

<Properties><CreatedOn>2010-02-18T10:17:10.953Z</CreatedOn><Name><![CDATA[Asp.net<What>XXXXX</What>]]></Name></Properties>

How do I make it?

Such usage isn't part of the happy way with the StorageClient 1.1 library; but you can use DataServiceContext.WritingEntities to achieve this behavior (although, it's rather a hacky approach).
