title: How to retrieve Saved Conversation Data in Azure (Tablelogger)
body: <p>i was able to saved conversation data using the tablelogger.cs implementation <a href="https://github.com/Microsoft/BotBuilder-Azure/blob/master/CSharp/Library/Microsoft.Bot.Builder.Azure/TableLogger.cs#L60" rel="nofollow noreferrer">TableLogger.cs</a></p>
  
  <p>I followed this tutorial to save the conversation history.

  <p>The code i used to save the chat history was:</p>
  
  <pre><code> var tableName = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["TableName"].ToString();
   var account = CloudStorageAccount.Parse(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["StorageConnectionString"].ConnectionString);
  
   Conversation.UpdateContainer(
              builder =&gt;
              {
                  account.CreateCloudTableClient().GetTableReference(tableName).DeleteIfExists();
                  builder.RegisterModule(new TableLoggerModule(account, tableName));
              });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>After checking the Azure table storage explorer I can confirm that information was saved.</p>

  <p>My question is now how to retrieve the conversation data and return it as a string so that I can send it to an agent for review?</p>
