<DoesServiceRequestAttribute>
Public Overridable Function BeginAppendBlock (
	blockData As Stream,
	contentMD5 As String,
	callback As AsyncCallback,
	state As Object
) As ICancellableAsyncResult

Parameters

blockData

Type: System.IO.StreamSystem.IO::Stream^System.IO.StreamSystem.IO.Stream

A Stream object that provides the data for the block.

contentMD5

Type: System.StringSystem::String^System.StringSystem.String

An optional hash value used to ensure transactional integrity for the block. May be null or an empty string.

callback

Type: System.AsyncCallbackSystem::AsyncCallback^System.AsyncCallbackSystem.AsyncCallback

An AsyncCallback delegate that will receive notification when the asynchronous operation completes.

state

Type: System.ObjectSystem::Object^System.ObjectSystem.Object

A user-defined object that will be passed to the callback delegate.

Return Value

Type: Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage.ICancellableAsyncResultMicrosoft.WindowsAzure.Storage::ICancellableAsyncResult^Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage.ICancellableAsyncResultMicrosoft.WindowsAzure.Storage.ICancellableAsyncResult

An ICancellableAsyncResult that references the asynchronous operation.

Remarks

Clients may send the Content-MD5 header for a given Append Block operation as a means to ensure transactional integrity over the wire. The contentMD5 parameter permits clients who already have access to a pre-computed MD5 value for a given byte range to provide it. If the P:BlobRequestOptions.UseTransactionalMd5Referenced topic's target id should not be empty. Article id: 91df60a0-dc15-4330-81e9-c6402b9aa2f7, link: P:BlobRequestOptions.UseTransactionalMd5. property is set to true and the contentMD5 parameter is set to null, then the client library will calculate the MD5 value internally.
