How can I read data from a table in Microsoft Azure Mobile Services and put it into my application?

I am using Xamarin Studio and Microsoft Azure Mobile Services. I am trying to read data that I put into a table in Microsoft Azure Mobile Service and display it in my application. I've followed all the tutorials on the Azure website, but I can't find how to simply get data from a table. I want to show the User what they have entered into the table.

Here is my code for entering data into a table:

//this just sets up the connection and table
private static readonly MobileServiceClient MobileService = 
        new MobileServiceClient (UsersConstants.ApplicationURL, UsersConstants.ApplicationKey);
private readonly IMobileServiceTable<UsersTable> usersTable = MobileService.GetTable<UsersTable>();

//this creates a new item 
var NewItem = new UsersTable ();
NewItem.Name = NameTextBox.Text;
NewItem.Email = EmailTextBox.Text;
NewItem.Password = PasswordTextBox.Text;

//this inserts the item into the table I have set up
usersTable.InsertAsync(NewItem);

Then I switch to another view in my app (its iOS app) and I want to get this data from the table and put it in my app. I have been looking around but I have not found how to do this. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

You should be able to do something like this (the exact syntax may be required for customization)



async private void GetUsers() {

    var users = await usersTable.Where (u => u.Name == "Bob").ToListAsync();

}
