Azure Storage: Upload Contents of String Variable to Block Blob

See more Azure Cloud Storage Examples

Sample code to upload the contents of a string variable to a block blob in Azure Cloud Storage. This creates the block blob, or replaces an existing block blob.

Note: The maximum size of a block blob created by uploading in a single step is 64MB. For larger files, the upload must be broken up into blocks. There is another Chilkat example for that..
