Cannot create queue/container in Azure Storage Emulator
<p>I have a very simple console project with the following code:</p>

<pre><code>        // NOTE: We piggyback on web jobs storage for now
        var connString = AmbientConnectionStringProvider.Instance
            .GetConnectionString(ConnectionStringNames.Storage);

        var storageAccount = CloudStorageAccount.Parse(connString);
        var queueClient = storageAccount.CreateCloudQueueClient();

        var queue = queueClient.GetQueueReference(InputQueueName);
        queue.CreateIfNotExists();
</code></pre>

<p>When I try to run it locally against the Azure Storage Emulator (I am using version 4.3), I get a 404 Not Found "The specified queue does not exist." exception thrown from the <code>CreateIfNotExists</code> line.
If I manually create the queue in Visual Studio Cloud Explorer (under the (Development) storage account), this code works.
When I use an actual storage account in Azure, the code works.</p>

<p>The same thing happens with blob containers.</p>

<p>I have deleted the localdb database and recreated. The init command runs without errors.</p>

<p>Any ideas?</p>

<h3>EDIT</h3>

<p>The connection string ending up in connString variable is <code>"UseDevelopmentStorage=true;"</code>.</p>

<h3>EDIT2</h3>

<p>I am using version 7.0.0 of the NuGet package WindowsAzure.Storage.</p>
