I’m trying to query an azure Blob Storage container from Silverlight.

I saw that the Windows.Azure.Storage.dll is not working with Silverlight so I presume the best way to communicate with my storage container is with REST Services. I saw the Azure Storage REST API, but I can’t find an easy way to :

  • List all blobs in a container
  • Retrieve a blob from a container
  • Add a new blob in a container

Anyone have a clear example on how to do that (for a complete REST dummy)?

By the way, It has to be a private container.

Thanks

    Since you don’t have access to the Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage assembly, you’ll need to call the REST services directly.

    The API is defined here:

    This CodePlex project has some nice code samples that should help you get off the ground with the REST calls:
