[QUERY] TableClient DeleteEntity using ITableEntity

[fhtino]

Library name and version

Azure.Data.Tables 12.7.0

Query/Question

TableClient.DeleteEntity accepts 2 parameters: partition key and row key.
Is there a reason why there is not an overload accepting an ITableEntity instance?
E.g. myclient.DeleteEntity(myEntity);

Environment

No response

Hi @fhtino, is there any scenario you are facing in which passing the whole entity would be more helpful than passing the properties?

For example, with the current method, you could use this:

myclient.DeleteEntity(myEntity.PartitionKey, myEntity.RowKey);

@JonathanCrd there is no technical issue to pass partionkey and rowkey as separated items. In my opinion, a DeleteEntity accepting a ITableEntity item is more concise, clean and no risk of swapping rowkey with partitionkey.

E.g. myclient.DeleteEntity(myEntity);
