I have requirement create the copy of container.

I have using the below code.

First create the container and then copy the blob file.

CloudStorageAccount storageAccount = new CloudStorageAccount(new StorageCredentials(accountName, accountKey), true);

CloudBlobClient cloudBlobClient = storageAccount.CreateCloudBlobClient();

CloudBlobContainer sourceContainer = cloudBlobClient.GetContainerReference(containerName);

CloudBlobContainer targetContainer = cloudBlobClient.GetContainerReference(targetContainerName);

string blobName = "";

CloudBlockBlob sourceBlob = sourceContainer.GetBlockBlobReference(blobName);

CloudBlockBlob targetBlob = targetContainer.GetBlockBlobReference(blobName);

targetBlob.StartCopyFromBlob(sourceBlob);

but Its taking the much time. when blob file are more thousands.

so i want to copy full container not one by one blob files.

The best appraoch could be to leverage AzCopy feature of Azure to achieve your results easily. You can take a look at it here, its comparatively efficient and faster.
https://azure.microsoft.com/en-in/documentation/articles/storage-use-azcopy/#blob-copy

You can simply invoke the Azcopy scripts though your C# code and let it execute by itself.
Alternatively you can also take a look at
