public abstract System.Threading.Tasks.Task<Microsoft.Azure.Cosmos.ItemResponse<T>> CreateItemAsync<T> (T item, Microsoft.Azure.Cosmos.PartitionKey? partitionKey = default, Microsoft.Azure.Cosmos.ItemRequestOptions requestOptions = default, System.Threading.CancellationToken cancellationToken = default);
abstract member CreateItemAsync : 'T * Nullable<Microsoft.Azure.Cosmos.PartitionKey> * Microsoft.Azure.Cosmos.ItemRequestOptions * System.Threading.CancellationToken -> System.Threading.Tasks.Task<Microsoft.Azure.Cosmos.ItemResponse<'T>>
Public MustOverride Function CreateItemAsync(Of T) (item As T, Optional partitionKey As Nullable(Of PartitionKey) = Nothing, Optional requestOptions As ItemRequestOptions = Nothing, Optional cancellationToken As CancellationToken = Nothing) As Task(Of ItemResponse(Of T))

Type Parameters

T

    public string status {get; set;}
}

ToDoActivity test = new ToDoActivity()
{
   id = Guid.NewGuid().ToString(),
   status = "InProgress"
};

ItemResponse item = await this.container.CreateItemAsync<ToDoActivity>(test, new PartitionKey(test.status));
