    Example
    Selecting Rows from a Table
    public async Task SelectingRowsFromATable()

          // For Selecting all matching entries.
          using (Selection anotherSelection = enterpriseTable.Select(anotherQueryFilter, SelectionType.ObjectID, SelectionOption.Normal))
          {
          }
    
          // This can be used to get one record which matches the criteria. No assumptions can be made about which record satisfying the criteria is selected.

          {
          }
