I need to list names of Azure Blob file names. Currently I m able to list all files with URL but I just need list of names. I want to avoid parsing names. Can you please see my below code and guide:
CloudStorageAccount backupStorageAccount = CloudStorageAccount.Parse(blobConectionString);
var backupBlobClient = backupStorageAccount.CreateCloudBlobClient();
var backupContainer = backupBlobClient.GetContainerReference(container);
var list = backupContainer.ListBlobs();
If you're using Windows Azure Storage 4.3.0, try this code.
List<string> blobNames = list.OfType<CloudBlockBlob>().Select(b => b.Name).ToList();
Here is one more way to get this done:
CloudStorageAccount backupStorageAccount = CloudStorageAccount.Parse(blobConectionString);
var backupBlobClient = backupStorageAccount.CreateCloudBlobClient();
var backupContainer = backupBlobClient.GetContainerReference(container);
// useFlatBlobListing is true to ensure loading all files in
// virtual blob sub-folders as a plain list
var list = backupContainer.ListBlobs(useFlatBlobListing: true);
var listOfFileNames = new List<string>();
foreach (var blob in blobs) {
var blobFileName = blob.Uri.Segments.Last();
listOfFileNames.Add(blobFileName);
}
return listOfFileNames;

We can get some additional info like Size, Modified date and Name.
CloudStorageAccount backupStorageAccount = CloudStorageAccount.Parse(YOUR_CON_STRING);
var backupBlobClient = backupStorageAccount.CreateCloudBlobClient();
var backupContainer = backupBlobClient.GetContainerReference("CONTAINER");
var blobs = backupContainer.ListBlobs().OfType<CloudBlockBlob>().ToList();
foreach (var blob in blobs)
{
string bName = blob.Name;
long bSize = blob.Properties.Length;
string bModifiedOn = blob.Properties.LastModified.ToString();
}
Also you can download a specific file by Name.
// Download file by Name
string fileName = "Your_file_name";
CloudBlockBlob blobFile = backupContainer.GetBlockBlobReference(fileName);
blobFile.DownloadToFile(@"d:\"+ fileName, System.IO.FileMode.Create);
Full answer with details.
// Parse the connection string and return a reference to the storage account.
CloudStorageAccount storageAccount = CloudStorageAccount.Parse(CloudConfigurationManager.GetSetting("AzureBlobConnectionString"));
CloudBlobClient blobClient = storageAccount.CreateCloudBlobClient();
// Retrieve reference to a previously created container.
CloudBlobContainer container = blobClient.GetContainerReference("container_name");
// Retrieve reference to a blob named "test.csv"
CloudBlockBlob blockBlob = container.GetBlockBlobReference("BlobName.tex");
//Gets List of Blobs
var list = container.ListBlobs();
List<string> blobNames = list.OfType<CloudBlockBlob>().Select(b => b.Name).ToList();
You can access the BlobProperties
to get the name:
foreach (object o in list)
{
BlobProperties bp = o as BlobProperties;
if (bp != null)
{
BlobProperties p = _Container.GetBlobProperties(bp.Name);
var name = p.Name; // get the name
}
}
This works with WindowsAzure.Storage 9.3.3.
CloudBlobClient cloudBlobClient = storageAccount.CreateCloudBlobClient();
var cloudBlobContainer = cloudBlobClient.GetContainerReference(containerName);
var blobResultSegment = await cloudBlobContainer.ListBlobsSegmentedAsync(continuationToken);
var blobs = blobResultSegment.Results.Select(i => i.Uri.Segments.Last()).ToList();
