Getting list of names of Azure blob files in a container?

Question

I need to list names of Azure Blob file names. Currently I m able to list all files with URL but I just need list of names. I want to avoid parsing names. Can you please see

Answer 1

We can get some additional info like Size, Modified date and Name.

CloudStorageAccount backupStorageAccount = CloudStorageAccount.Parse(YOUR_CON_STRING);

var backupBlobClient = backupStorageAccount.CreateCloudBlobClient();
var backupContainer = backupBlobClient.GetContainerReference("CONTAINER");


var blobs = backupContainer.ListBlobs().OfType<CloudBlockBlob>().ToList();

foreach (var blob in blobs)
{
    string bName = blob.Name;
    long bSize = blob.Properties.Length;
    string bModifiedOn = blob.Properties.LastModified.ToString();        
}

Also you can download a specific file by Name.

 // Download file by Name
 string fileName = "Your_file_name";
 CloudBlockBlob blobFile = backupContainer.GetBlockBlobReference(fileName);
 blobFile.DownloadToFile(@"d:\"+ fileName, System.IO.FileMode.Create);

Answer 2

You can access the BlobProperties to get the name:

foreach (object o in list)
{
    BlobProperties bp = o as BlobProperties;
    if (bp != null)
    {
        BlobProperties p = _Container.GetBlobProperties(bp.Name);
        var name = p.Name; // get the name
    }
}
