Examples

// Create a CloudStorageAccount object using account name and key.
// The account name should be just the name of a Storage Account, not a URI, and 
// not including the suffix. The key should be a base-64 encoded string that you
// can acquire from the portal, or from the management plane.
// This will have full permissions to all operations on the account.
StorageCredentials storageCredentials = new StorageCredentials(myAccountName, myAccountKey);
CloudStorageAccount cloudStorageAccount = new CloudStorageAccount(storageCredentials, useHttps: true);

// Create a CloudBlobClient object from the storage account.
// This object is the root object for all operations on the 
// blob service for this particular account.
CloudBlobClient blobClient = cloudStorageAccount.CreateCloudBlobClient();

// Get a reference to a CloudBlobContainer object in this account. 
// This object can be used to create the container on the service, 
// list blobs, delete the container, etc. This operation does not make a 
// call to the Azure Storage service.  It neither creates the container 
// on the service, nor validates its existence.
CloudBlobContainer container = blobClient.GetContainerReference("container1");


// Create a CloudQueueClient object from the storage account.
// This object is the root object for all operations on the 
// queue service for this particular account.
CloudQueueClient queueClient = cloudStorageAccount.CreateCloudQueueClient();

// Get a reference to a CloudQueue object in this account. 
// This object can be used to create the queue on the service, 
// delete the queue, add messages, etc. This operation does not
// make a call to the Azure Storage service.  It neither creates 
// the queue on the service, nor validates its existence.
CloudQueue queue = queueClient.GetQueueReference("queue1");

// Create a CloudFileClient object from the storage account.
// This object is the root object for all operations on the 
// file service for this particular account.
CloudFileClient fileClient = cloudStorageAccount.CreateCloudFileClient();

// Get a reference to a CloudFileShare object in this account. 
// This object can be used to create the share on the service, 
// delete the share, list files and directories, etc. This operation 
// does not make a call to the Azure Storage service. It neither 
// creates the share on the service, nor validates its existence.
CloudFileShare share = fileClient.GetShareReference("share1");
