Sometimes I just want to write blogposts to memorize it better even if the stuff is actually quiet old. So… and now I present you:
How To write a simple text to Azure Storage
All you need is the Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage NuGet Package (well… there is also a REST API available, but in the .NET land, this is much easier).
CloudStorageAccount storageAccount = CloudStorageAccount.Parse(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["storage"].ConnectionString);
// Create the blob client.
CloudBlobClient blobClient = storageAccount.CreateCloudBlobClient();
// Retrieve a reference to a container.
CloudBlobContainer container = blobClient.GetContainerReference("mycontainer");
// Create the container if it doesn't already exist.
container.CreateIfNotExists();
// Make it public - because sharing is good, right?
container.SetPermissions(
new BlobContainerPermissions
{
PublicAccess =
BlobContainerPublicAccessType.Blob
});
CloudBlockBlob blockBlob = container.GetBlockBlobReference("myblob");
var foobar = "helloworld";
blockBlob.UploadText(foobar);
Besides “UploadText” there a bunch of other methods available to save a stream or bytes etc..
The “CloudStorageAccount.Parse” needs a well formed WindowsAzure Storage ConnectionString.
That’s all. If you want to learn more: Azure Documentation
Hope this helps!
