Parameters

size

Type: System.Nullable<Int64>System::Nullable<Int64>System.Nullable<Int64>System.Nullable(Of Int64)

The size of the page blob, in bytes. The size must be a multiple of 512. If null, the page blob must already exist.

cancellationToken

Type: System.Threading.CancellationTokenSystem.Threading::CancellationTokenSystem.Threading.CancellationTokenSystem.Threading.CancellationToken

A CancellationToken to observe while waiting for a task to complete.

Return Value

Type: System.Threading.Tasks.Task<CloudBlobStream>System.Threading.Tasks::Task<CloudBlobStream^>^System.Threading.Tasks.Task<CloudBlobStream>System.Threading.Tasks.Task(Of CloudBlobStream)

A Task<TResult><TResult><'TResult>(Of TResult) object of type CloudBlobStream that represents the asynchronous operation.
