Azure Storage: Upload Binary Data to Block Blob using BinData

See more Azure Cloud Storage Examples

Sample code to upload binary bytes (contained in a Chilkat BinData object) 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..

VBScript

Dim fso, outFile
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

Set outFile = fso.CreateTextFile("output.txt", True, True)

' Azure Blob Service Example: Upload binary bytes to a block blob.
' This creates a new block blob or replaces an existing one in its entirety.

' This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
' See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

' Note: The application does not need to explicitly set the following

' are automatically set by Chilkat.
