What is the difference between Microsoft.Samples.ServiceHosting.StorageClient and Microsoft.WindowsAzure.StorageClient

Question

I am new to Azure and wondering what is the difference between Microsoft.Samples.ServiceHosting.StorageClient and Microsoft.WindowsAzure.StorageClient? Are both being used or should I just used the latter? Thank you.

Answer 1

Only use the latter. The former is from a sample that shipped with the Windows Azure CTP in 2008... now there's an official storage client library (the second namespace you mentioned), and I would recommend always using that.
