Example

The following code example writes to a blob using two different service clients.

C# Copy Code
static void UploadIfNotExist(Uri blobEndpoint, string accountName, string accountKey)
{
    // Create service client for credentialed access to the blob.
    CloudBlobClient blobClient = 
        new CloudBlobClient(blobEndpoint, 
            new StorageCredentialsAccountAndKey(accountName, accountKey));

    // Get a reference to the blob.
    CloudBlob blob = blobClient.GetBlobReference("mycontainer/myblob.txt");

    // Specify the if-none-match condition.
    BlobRequestOptions options = new BlobRequestOptions();

    options.AccessCondition = AccessCondition.IfNoneMatch("*");

    try
    {
        // Upload the blob only if it does not already exist.
        blob.UploadText("Upload this blob if it does not already exist.", Encoding.UTF8, options);
    }
    catch (StorageClientException e)
    {
        if (e.ErrorCode == StorageErrorCode.BlobAlreadyExists)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Blob was not uploaded because it already exists.");
        }
        else
        {
            Console.WriteLine(e.Message);
        }
    }
