Answer 2

ok thanks Arwind.

I tried this. but i am getting error in the following blocked lines like 'Could not find file 'c:\windows\system32\inetsrv\Penguins.jpg'. How can i resolve this.

CloudStorageAccount storageAccount = CloudStorageAccount.Parse(CloudConfigurationManager.GetSetting("StorageConnectionString"));
                        CloudBlobClient blobClient = storageAccount.CreateCloudBlobClient();
                        CloudBlobContainer container = blobClient.GetContainerReference("ia-container");
                        container.CreateIfNotExist();
                        container.SetPermissions(new BlobContainerPermissions { PublicAccess = BlobContainerPublicAccessType.Blob });
                        CloudBlob blob = container.GetBlobReference("article-blob");
using (var fileStream = System.IO.File.OpenRead(FileUpload1.PostedFile.FileName))
                        {
                            blob.UploadFromStream(fileStream);
                        }

Hi,

It seems your put a incorrect file path when you trying to upload it, Can you make sure the "Penguins.jpg" is under the "'c:\windows\system32\inetsrv\"? And i suggest you use PostedFile.PostedFile.InputStream instead of File.OpenRead method (get the image stream directly).

Another thing is Blob.UploadFile method is also available, you can use the Server.MapPath to get the image url, code snippets like:

string name = "File/Microsoft.jpg";                   
CloudBlob blob = container.GetBlobReference(name);
blob.UploadFile(Server.MapPath(name));

Hope this helps.
