Azure download blob part

Question

I would be very grateful if anybody has experience with the function DownloadRangeToStream.

Here they say that the parameter \"length\" is the length of the data, bu

Try this code. It downloads a large blob by splitting it in 1 MB chunks.

    static void DownloadRangeExample()
    {
        var cloudStorageAccount = CloudStorageAccount.DevelopmentStorageAccount;
        var containerName = "container";
        var blobName = "myfile.zip";
        int segmentSize = 1 * 1024 * 1024;//1 MB chunk
        var blobContainer = cloudStorageAccount.CreateCloudBlobClient().GetContainerReference(containerName);
        var blob = blobContainer.GetBlockBlobReference(blobName);
        blob.FetchAttributes();
        var blobLengthRemaining = blob.Properties.Length;
        long startPosition = 0;
        string saveFileName = @"D:\myfile.zip";
        do
        {
            long blockSize = Math.Min(segmentSize, blobLengthRemaining);
            byte[] blobContents = new byte[blockSize];
            using (MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream())
            {
                blob.DownloadRangeToStream(ms, startPosition, blockSize);
                ms.Position = 0;
                ms.Read(blobContents, 0, blobContents.Length);
                using (FileStream fs = new FileStream(saveFileName, FileMode.OpenOrCreate))
                {
                    fs.Position = startPosition;
                    fs.Write(blobContents, 0, blobContents.Length);
                }
            }
            startPosition += blockSize;
            blobLengthRemaining -= blockSize;
        }
        while (blobLengthRemaining > 0);
    }
