title: getting 409 error when trying to call table.CreateIfNotExists() for the first time
body: <p>When starting my program for the first time since the associated table has been deleted I get this error:</p>
  <blockquote>
  <p>An exception of type 'Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage.StorageException' occurred in Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage.dll but was not handled in user code</p>
  <p>Additional information: The remote server returned an error: (409) Conflict.</p>
  </blockquote>
  <p>However if I refresh the crashed page the table will successfully create.</p>
  <p>Here is the code just in case:</p>
  <pre><code>CloudStorageAccount storageAccount = CloudStorageAccount.Parse(
  Microsoft.WindowsAzure.CloudConfigurationManager.
  GetSetting(&quot;StorageConnectionString&quot;));
  
  CloudTableClient tableClient = storageAccount.CreateCloudTableClient();
  
  CloudTable table = tableClient.GetTableReference(&quot;tableTesting&quot;);
  table.CreateIfNotExists();
  </code></pre>
  <p>I don't really understand how or why I'd be getting a conflict error if there's nothing there.</p>
  <p>These errors appear elsewhere in my code as well when I'm working with blob containers, but I can't reproduce them as easily.</p>
