Request to add support for decimal data types

[abbasl]

Can you please add support for entities to have decimal data types?

My entity looks like this:
public sealed class Product
{
[PartitionKey]
public string EntityType
{
get
{
return "product";
}
}
[RowKey]
public string Sku { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public double Price { get; set; }
}

I receive this error when I call the .AddOrUpdate method on a collection of such entities:
Invalid entity member type: 'System.Decimal'.

Here is the stack trace:

Hi,

For now Azure Table Storage does not support 'decimal'. But I'll check if we could serialize and deserializa it to string or something like to store on Azure.

Thanks,
