Example

The following code example creates a new container and defines metadata for it, and handles the error in case a container with the same name already exists.

static void CreateContainerAsync(Uri blobEndpoint, string accountName, string accountKey)
{
    //Create service client for credentialed access to the Blob service.
    CloudBlobClient blobClient = new CloudBlobClient(blobEndpoint, new StorageCredentialsAccountAndKey(accountName, accountKey));

    //Get a reference for the new container.
    CloudBlobContainer container = blobClient.GetContainerReference("newcontainer");

    //Define metadata for the container.
    container.Metadata["media"] = "video";

    //Begin the operation to create the container.
    container.BeginCreate(CreateContainerCallback, container);
}

static void CreateContainerCallback(IAsyncResult result)
{
    CloudBlobContainer container = (CloudBlobContainer)result.AsyncState;
            
    //End the operation. Handle the error in case the container already exists.
    try
    {
        container.EndCreate(result);
        Console.WriteLine("Container " + container.Name + " created successfully.");
    }
    catch (StorageClientException e)
    {
        if (e.ErrorCode == StorageErrorCode.ContainerAlreadyExists)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Cannot create the container because it already exists.");
        }
        else
        {
            Console.WriteLine(e.ErrorCode);
        }
    }
}
