ListBlobs Method

List the blobs under a specified container.

Syntax

[VB.NET]
Public Sub ListBlobs()

[C#]
public void ListBlobs();

Remarks

This method will list the blobs contained within the container specified by ContainerName. All returned blobs will be stored within Blobs. The BlobList event will also fire for each blob in the list.

Metadata, snapshots, and uncommitted blobs are not returned in a blob listing unless they are specified to be returned. The following properties can be set to include one or more of these subsets within a blob listing:


IncludeMetadata	When set to true, the Metadata event will fire for each piece of metadata returned.
IncludeSnapshots	When set to true, snapshot blobs will be included within the returned blob listing and stored within Blobs. Snapshot can be queried to determine if the blob is a snapshot or not.
IncludeUncommittedBlobs	When set to true, blobs containing uploaded but uncommitted blocks will be included within the returned blob listing and stored within Blobs. Uncommitted blobs will not have any of the following properties, thus they can be queried to determine if the blob is an uncommitted one. These properties are LastModified, ETag, ContentType, ContentEncoding, ContentLanguage, and CacheControl. Uncommitted blobs will also not have any Metadata associated with it.

If there are more than MaxResults results, Marker will be populated with the marker identifying the position in the results. Subsequent ListBlobs calls will return the next portion of results. If Marker is an empty string, the end of the list has been reached.

List results can be filtered by using the BlobDelimiter and Prefix properties, which also help you traverse a virtual namespace.
