Creation of DTO object from Azure SDK 2.4 CreateQuery

Question

HI,
I looking generic approach for performing Server side project and resolve with Entity Resolve class Method. Does any1 has good example for converting Azure Table Instance (Object) to DTO object.
For example to implement DTO object in Azure SDK 2.4 Table Storage. I saw some sample like Resolve(EntityAdapter.AdapterResolver> but looks like conversion happen on Client not on server side. Table Service pulls all the properties of an entity to client
side and filers required properties @ client. I'm looking for generic approach where I get entity with only required properties from server side projections i.e send only required properties to client this will reduce load, since less payload.
When i try to use TableQuery<DynamicTableEntity>().where (<Predicate>)
where Predicate is expected in format FUNC<T,Bool> where T is of type DynamicTableEnitty. But i cant pass of type DynamicTableEntity,can we pass instead of DynamicTableEntity with ITableEntity .

Hi,

As far as I know, If we want to get the entity with required properties, we could consider use SelectColumns Property, refer to
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.windowsazure.storage.table.tablequery.selectcolumns.aspx for more details, the code below may give you some tips.
TableQuery<CustomerEntity> tquery = new TableQuery<CustomerEntity>();
List<string> cloumns = new List<string>();
cloumns.Add("PhoneNumber");
tquery.SelectColumns = cloumns;
var result = cloudTable.ExecuteQuery(tquery);
