DownloadContent()

Source:

BlobBaseClient.cs

The DownloadContent() operation downloads a blob from the service, including its metadata and properties.

For more information, see Get Blob.

C#

public virtual Azure.Response<Azure.Storage.Blobs.Models.BlobDownloadResult> DownloadContent();

Returns

Response<BlobDownloadResult>

A Response<T> describing the downloaded blob. Content contains the blob's data.

Remarks

A RequestFailedException will be thrown if a failure occurs.

This API is a prefered way to fetch blobs that can fit into memory. The content is provided as BinaryData that provides a lightweight abstraction for a payload of bytes. It provides convenient helper methods to get out commonly used primitives, such as streams, strings, or bytes. Consider the following alternatives:

• DownloadTo: to stream blob content to a path or a Stream
• DownloadStreaming: as a replacement to this API. Use it to access network stream directly for any advanced scenario.

DownloadContent(CancellationToken)

Source:

BlobBaseClient.cs

The DownloadContent(CancellationToken) operation downloads a blob from the service, including its metadata and properties.

For more information, see Get Blob.

C#

public virtual Azure.Response<Azure.Storage.Blobs.Models.BlobDownloadResult> DownloadContent(System.Threading.CancellationToken cancellationToken = default);

Parameters

cancellationToken

CancellationToken

Optional CancellationToken to propagate notifications that the operation should be cancelled.

Returns

Response<BlobDownloadResult>

A Response<T> describing the downloaded blob. Content contains the blob's data.

Remarks
