Bad request - Create Table in Azure Local Storage

Question

When I try to create a table in Table Storage (using Azure Local Storage emulator) I get the error "The remote server returned an error: (400) Bad Request."

The name of the table is according the rules, so what can be happening?!

Role Configuration:

<ConfigurationSettings>
<Setting name="Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Plugins.Diagnostics.ConnectionString" value="UseDevelopmentStorage=true" />
<Setting name="StorageConnectionString" value="UseDevelopmentStorage=true" />
</ConfigurationSettings>

Create table method:

CloudStorageAccount storageAccount = CloudStorageAccount.Parse(
CloudConfigurationManager.GetSetting("StorageConnectionString"));

CloudTableClient tableClient = storageAccount.CreateCloudTableClient();

CloudTable table = tableClient.GetTableReference("people");
table.CreateIfNotExists();

What version of the SDK are you using? If you are mixing the Storage Client library 2.0 and the older SDK (pre 1.8) the emulator has a problem. I ran into this as well and made sure I was using the StorageClient 2.0 library and the Azure SDK 1.8:

Edit: There maybe ways to get it work with mixing the Storage API with Azure SDK, but this is an easy solution (workaround).
