c# ,MVC, Azure Blob

Hi,

 

Using the WindowsAzure.Storage nuget package the following code should get you the list of containers from blob storage:

 

// User your connection string in place of connectionString.

var storageAccount = CloudStorageAccount.Parse(connectionString);

// Create the blob client.

var blobClient = storageAccount.CreateCloudBlobClient();

// Get the list of containers from blob storage.

var containers = blobClient.ListContainers();

// Generate a MVC SelectList from the list of containers.

var listForView = new SelectList(containers, "Name", "Name");

 

From here on you can pass the select list you created via ViewBag or your view model to your View and then you can use it with the DropDownList helper.

 

Hope it helps....
