[This topic is part of the Microsoft Azure Storage Client Library 1.7, which has been deprecated. See
Storage Client Library for the latest version.]
Returns an enumerable collection of the blobs in the container.
Namespace: Microsoft.WindowsAzure.StorageClient
Assembly: Microsoft.WindowsAzure.StorageClient (in Microsoft.WindowsAzure.StorageClient.dll)
Usage
| Visual Basic |
|---|
Dim instance As CloudBlobContainer
Dim returnValue As IEnumerable(Of IListBlobItem)
returnValue = instance.ListBlobs |
Syntax
| Visual Basic |
|---|
Public Function ListBlobs As IEnumerable(Of IListBlobItem) |
| C# |
|---|
public IEnumerable<IListBlobItem> ListBlobs () |
| C++ |
|---|
public:
IEnumerable<IListBlobItem^>^ ListBlobs () |
Return Value
Type: System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable
An enumerable collection of objects that implement
IListBlobItem.
Example
The following code example lists blobs in a container first hierarchically, and then using a flat blob listing. Note that the two listings will differ only if the blobs in the container include a delimiter character in their names, and therefore constitute a virtual directory structure.
| C# |  Copy Code |
|---|
static void ListBlobsInContainer(Uri blobEndpoint, string accountName, string accountKey)
{
//Create service client for credentialed access to the Blob service.
CloudBlobClient blobClient =
new CloudBlobClient(blobEndpoint,
new StorageCredentialsAccountAndKey(accountName, accountKey));
//Get a reference to the container.
CloudBlobContainer container = blobClient.GetContainerReference("myblobs");
//List blobs and directories in this container hierarchically (which is the default listing).
foreach (var blobItem in container.ListBlobs())
{
Console.WriteLine(blobItem.Uri);
}
Console.WriteLine();
//List blobs in this container using a flat listing.
BlobRequestOptions options = new BlobRequestOptions();
options.UseFlatBlobListing = true;
//List snapshots, which requires a flat blob listing.
options.BlobListingDetails = BlobListingDetails.Snapshots;
foreach (var blobItem in container.ListBlobs(options))
{
Console.WriteLine(blobItem.Uri);
}
}
