  1. POC# downloading from Windows Azure Storage returns an empty file without any exceptions
    text
    copied!<p>I'm trying to use Windows Azure Storage for my Windows Store App with Mobile Services to store images. I made uploading work by following this guide:</p> <p><a href="http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/develop/mobile/tutorials/upload-images-to-storage-dotnet/" rel="nofollow">http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/develop/mobile/tutorials/upload-images-to-storage-dotnet/</a></p> <p>However, I couldn't find any material on downloading the files. I couldn't even find classes reference for windows store version! If someone could guide me to the documentation I would be grateful.</p> <p>Anyway, I wrote the code but it doesn't seem work:</p> <pre><code>public static async System.Threading.Tasks.Task DownloadUserImage(SQLUser userData) { var usersFolder = await GetUsersFolder(); var imageUri = new Uri(userData.ImageUri); var accountName = "&lt;SNIP&gt;"; var key = "&lt;SNIP&gt;"; StorageCredentials cred = new StorageCredentials(accountName, key); CloudBlobContainer container = new CloudBlobContainer(new Uri(string.Format("https://{0}/{1}", imageUri.Host, userData.ContainerName)), cred); CloudBlockBlob blob = container.GetBlockBlobReference(userData.ResourceName); var imageFile = await usersFolder.CreateFileAsync(userData.Id.ToString() + ".jpg", CreationCollisionOption.ReplaceExisting); using (var fileStream = await imageFile.OpenAsync(FileAccessMode.ReadWrite)) { try { await blob.DownloadToStreamAsync(fileStream); } catch (Exception e) { Tools.HandleLiveException(e); } } } </code></pre> <p>This code results in empty file creation, but it doesn't throw any exceptions whatsoever. If I paste the value of imageUri to my browser, it starts downloading the file and completes the download successfully. However, my program does not, for some reason.</p> <p>Any help, please?</p>
