GetBlob Method

Reads or downloads a blob, including its metadata and properties.

Syntax

[VB.NET]
Public Sub GetBlob(ByVal blobName As String)

[C#]
public void GetBlob(string blobName);

Remarks

This method will read or download the blob specified by blobName. If LocalFile is set to an empty string, the blob content will be stored in BlobData. Otherwise the content of the blob will be written directly to the specified file.

BlobSnapshot can be specified to retrieve the content of a specific snapshot.

Optionally, LeaseId can be set in which case the operation will only be performed if the following two conditions are met;

• The blob's lease is currently active.
• The lease ID specified in the request matches that of the blob.

To decrypt blob content, EncryptionPassword can be set to the needed password value.
