List all containers in an Azure blob client - ListContainers method missing?

Question

I'm trying to obtain a list of all containers within an Azure Storage blob client using WindowsAzure.Storage v8.5.0.

MSDN doesn't offer documentation for v8.5.0 - its latest is v8.4.0, but even if I downgrade to this version I still have the same problem: MSDN says that there's a ListContainers method, but intellisense in Visual Studio says there isn't, and I get a build error if I insist on trying to call such a method.

I've checked and the version of the assembly in the \\bin directory is v8.5.0 (and v8.4.0, when I try that)

I've used .NET Reflector to look inside the packages and can find no such method.

So what has happened to ListContainers , and if it's been removed then how else can I list all containers?

Answer 1

.Net Core version of Storage Client library does not support synchronous methods as of today. There's an open ticket on Github for that: https://github.com/Azure/azure-storage-net/issues/367 .

To list containers, you will need to use Async methods. Please use ListContainersSegmentedAsync method for this purpose.
