Dim instance As CloudBlobContainer
Dim blobAddressUri As String
Dim returnValue As CloudBlockBlob

returnValue = instance.GetBlockBlobReference(blobAddressUri)

Syntax

Visual Basic
Public Function GetBlockBlobReference ( _
	blobAddressUri As String _
) As CloudBlockBlob
C#
public CloudBlockBlob GetBlockBlobReference (
	string blobAddressUri
)
C++

Parameters

blobAddressUri

Type: System.String

The URI of the blob relative to the container.

Return Value

Type: Microsoft.WindowsAzure.StorageClient.CloudBlockBlob

A reference to a block blob.

Remarks

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

C# Copy Code
public CloudBlockBlob GetCloudBlockBlob(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 block blob within the container.
    CloudBlobClient blobClient = storageAccount.CreateCloudBlobClient();
    CloudBlobContainer container = blobClient.GetContainerReference("mycontainer");
    CloudBlockBlob myBlob = container.GetBlockBlobReference("myblob");

    return myBlob;
}
