I have these two objects for Azure Blob Storage access and want to use them in ASP.NET MVC application. CloudBlobClient blobClient = storageAccount.CreateCloudBlobClient(); CloudBlobContainer container = blobClient.GetContainerReference("Deesd"); My question is: Can I reuse the same instance of the objects across all the application requests, or should I instantiate a new object in every method? You can reuse instances, just don't access the same instance from multiple threads concurrently because it is not thread safe. UPDATE April 2019 (7yrs later) NOTE: You should always consult the latest

I see that there are different kinds of URLS to access a blob storage like shown below: wasb://XXXXXXXXXX@XXXXX.blob.core.windows.net https://XXXXXXXXXX@XXXXX.blob.core.windows.net What is the difference? what could be the reason for difference? From what I understand, wasb://XXXXXXXXXX@XXXXX.blob.core.windows.net is used to access blob storage through HDInsight (ref: http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/documentation/articles/hdinsight-use-blob-storage/ ) where as https://XXXXXXXXXX@XXXXX.blob.core.windows.net is used to access blobs through clients supporting HTTP protocol (web browsers etc.).

I am searching for the connection string that is need to be defined to use windows azure storage emulator. So far, all the sources I have found says these connection strings should go to ServiceDefinition and ServiceConfiguration files located in Windows Azure project. However, I am not using Azure project but the ASP.NET MVC 3. For, ASP.NET MVC project, it should probably go to web.config file. However, I have no idea what it should look like ? I have Azure account if that is needed for emulator. Thanks. As this article says connectionstring is DevelopmentStorage=true So in Web.config you can

I'm trying to copy a blob from one storage account to another (In a different location). I'm using the following code: var sourceContainer = sourceClient.GetContainerReference(containerId); var sourceBlob = sourceContainer.GetBlockBlobReference(blobId); if (await sourceBlob.ExistsAsync().ConfigureAwait(false)) { var targetContainer = targetClient.GetContainerReference(containerId); await targetContainer.CreateIfNotExistsAsync().ConfigureAwait(false); var targetBlob = targetContainer.GetBlockBlobReference(blobId); await targetBlob.DeleteIfExistsAsync().ConfigureAwait(false); await targetBlob

I am trying to download a .json blob that I have stored in a container in the Azure Storage using Newtonsoft.Json to write it to an object. I am doing this by calling: (CloudBlockBlob) blob.DownloadToStream(stream); However, instead of writing the stream to a file in the local app directory, I want to return the json object doing Json(result) This is what I have tried: using (var stream = new MemoryStream()) { blob.DownloadToStream(stream); var serializer = new JsonSerializer(); using (var sr = new StreamReader(stream)) { using (var jsonTextReader = new JsonTextReader(sr)) { result =
