Parameters

blobAddressUri

Type: System.String

The URI of the blob relative to the container.

Return Value

Type: Microsoft.WindowsAzure.StorageClient.CloudBlob

A reference to a blob.

Remarks

The blobAddressUri parameter is the URI of the blob relative to the container. For example, consider the following code sample:

C# Copy Code
public CloudBlob GetCloudBlob(string storageAccountName, string key)
{
    // Create a reference to the storage account.
    StorageCredentialsAccountAndKey storageCredentials = new StorageCredentialsAccountAndKey(storageAccountName, key);
    CloudStorageAccount storageAccount = new CloudStorageAccount(storageCredentials, false);

    // Create a reference to a blob container and a blob within the container.
    CloudBlobClient blobClient = storageAccount.CreateCloudBlobClient();
    CloudBlobContainer container = blobClient.GetContainerReference("mycontainer");
    CloudBlob myBlob = container.GetBlobReference("myblob");

    return myBlob;
}
