I fixed the code and works as expected now, but before that, the issue was with visual studio 2013, had to use visual studio 2019, and get the correct version reference of Azure:
[Route("~/api/myAPI/testapi")]
[HttpPost]
public async Task<HttpResponseMessage> testapi()
{
CloudStorageAccount storageAccount;
Dictionary<string, object> dict = new Dictionary<string, object>();
string strorageconn = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings.Get("MyBlobStorageConnectionString");
if (CloudStorageAccount.TryParse(strorageconn, out storageAccount))
{
try
{
// Create the CloudBlobClient that represents the
// Blob storage endpoint for the storage account.
CloudBlobClient cloudBlobClient = storageAccount.CreateCloudBlobClient();
// Create a container called 'quickstartblobs' and
// append a GUID value to it to make the name unique.
CloudBlobContainer cloudBlobContainer = cloudBlobClient.GetContainerReference("images");
await cloudBlobContainer.CreateIfNotExistsAsync();
// Set the permissions so the blobs are public.
BlobContainerPermissions permissions = new BlobContainerPermissions
{
PublicAccess = BlobContainerPublicAccessType.Blob
};
await cloudBlobContainer.SetPermissionsAsync(permissions);
var httpRequest = HttpContext.Current.Request;
foreach (string file in httpRequest.Files)
{
HttpResponseMessage response = Request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.Created);
var postedFile = httpRequest.Files[file];
string imageName = ("images" + serverTime.Year.ToString() + serverTime.Month.ToString() + serverTime.Day.ToString() +
serverTime.Hour.ToString() + serverTime.Minute.ToString() + serverTime.Second.ToString() + serverTime.Millisecond.ToString()
+ postedFile.FileName );
if (postedFile != null && postedFile.ContentLength > 0)
{
int MaxContentLength = 1024 * 1024 * 1; //Size = 1 MB
IList<string> AllowedFileExtensions = new List<string> { ".jpg", ".gif", ".png" };
var ext = postedFile.FileName.Substring(postedFile.FileName.LastIndexOf('.'));
var extension = ext.ToLower();
if (!AllowedFileExtensions.Contains(extension))
{
var message = string.Format("Please Upload image of type .jpg,.gif,.png.");
dict.Add("error", message);
return Request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.BadRequest, dict);
}
else if (postedFile.ContentLength > MaxContentLength)
{
var message = string.Format("Please Upload a file upto 1 mb.");
dict.Add("error", message);
return Request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.BadRequest, dict);
}
else
{
CloudBlockBlob cloudBlockBlob = cloudBlobContainer.GetBlockBlobReference(imageName);
cloudBlockBlob.Properties.ContentType = postedFile.ContentType;
await cloudBlockBlob.UploadFromStreamAsync(postedFile.InputStream);
}
}
var message1 = string.Format("Image Updated Successfully.");
return Request.CreateErrorResponse(HttpStatusCode.Created, message1);
}
var res3 = string.Format("Please Upload a image.");
dict.Add("error", res3);
return Request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.NotFound, dict);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
HttpResponseMessage response2 = Request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.BadRequest, ex.InnerException.ToString());
return response2;
}
}
else
{
var res = string.Format("Did not connect successfull.");
dict.Add("error", res);
return Request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.NotFound, dict);
}
}
