Example
The following code example appends the contents of a text blob to a local text file—and specifies a 20 second timeout on the operation.
| C# |  Copy Code |
|---|
static void AppendTextBlobToFile2(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 a blob.
CloudBlob blob = blobClient.GetBlobReference("mycontainer/myblob.txt");
// Set options for the request. E.g., Specify an operation timeout of 20 seconds.
BlobRequestOptions options = new BlobRequestOptions();
options.Timeout = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(20.0);
// Download the blob to a file stream.
FileStream stream = new FileStream("C:\\appendtofile.txt", FileMode.Append);
blob.DownloadToStream(stream, options);
}
