I am using LinQ on the client side to query Cosmos DB. All the other properties work fine except two properties. One is the "id" and the other is the "RowKey".
I manually checked the database, the type of RowKeys are all string, they all have values.
What may be the issue? Have anyone had experience with this? Thanks.
In logs, I printed out the query string, e.g.,
Filter is x => ((x.RowKey != null) AndAlso (x.RowKey == "some value")).
The exception is as follows, is it because "id" and "RowKey" are reserved attributes?
Exception occurred: 'System.ArgumentNullException: Invalid handle.

Thank you for the question and for using Microsoft Q&A platform.As per my understanding you are having trouble querying Cosmos DB using LinQ on the client side. From the error message you provided, it appears that the issue may be related to the fact that "id" and "RowKey" are reserved attributes in Cosmos DB.
Both
idandRowKeyare special properties in Cosmos DB. Theidproperty is a required property for all items in Cosmos DB, andRowKeyis often used in Table API. These properties might be causing issues if they are being treated as reserved keywords.To work around this issue, you can try using a different property name instead of "id" and "RowKey".
If you have already tried this and are still experiencing issues, it may be helpful to provide more information about the specific query you are trying to run and the data you are working with. This will help me better understand the issue and provide more targeted assistance.
