ListShares Method

Lists shares in the file storage account.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public void ListShares();

Public Sub ListShares()

Remarks

This method lists the shares in the file storage account specified by the Account property.

Before calling this method, the Prefix property may be set in order to restrict the results to only the items whose names begin with a given string. The MaxResults configuration setting may also be used to limit the number of results returned.

Calling this method will fire the ShareList event once for each share, and will also populate the Shares collection.

If there are still more shares available to list when this method returns, the ShareMarker property will be populated. Continue to call this method until ShareMarker is empty to accumulate all pages of results in the Shares collection.

Note that the server does not return the shares' SpaceUsed field when listing shares; use GetShareInfo to retrieve all fields for a specific share.

// ShareList event handler.
azurefile.OnShareList += (s, e) => {
  Console.WriteLine(e.Name);
};

do {
  azurefile.ListShares();

  for (int i = 0; i < azurefile.Shares.Count; i++) {
    // Process shares here.
  }
} while (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(azurefile.ShareMarker));
