Upload file in azure storage account in D365FO

In this blog I will discuss how we can upload file in storage account in D365FO. We normally use azure storage account to hold thing that need to be further processed and stored on cloud.

Please see below code with explanation.

Explanation of source code (1.1):

• Getting azure credentials from vend parameter tables.
• Setting connection to access storage account.
• Initialize cloud file client which used to configure and execute requests against the File service
• Initialize cloud file share.
• Check file share exists or not.

Explanation of source code (1.2):

• Initialize cloud file directory which is directory of files which hold directories, and directories hold files.
• Gets a reference to a virtual blob directory beneath this container.
• Initialize cloud file.
• Uploads a stream to a file. If the file already exists on the service, it will be overwritten.

Complete Source Code (Method):

/// <summary>     /// Upload file to azure file storage     /// </summary>     /// <param name = "_fileContentInStream">File stream</param>     /// <parmam name = "_folderName">Folder where file saves</param>     /// <param name = "_fileName">File name</param>     /// <returns>True or False</returns>     public static boolean uploadFileToAzureFileStorage(System.IO.Stream _fileContentInStream , str _folderName, str _fileName)     {         try         {             //Getting azure credentials from vend parameter tables (in my case)             VendParameters  vendParameter = VendParameters::find();             //Setting connection             Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage.Auth.StorageCredentials storageCredentials = new Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage.Auth.StorageCredentials("Your storage account name",                 "Your storage account access key");             Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage.CloudStorageAccount storageAccount = new Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage.CloudStorageAccount(storageCredentials, true);                         //Provides a client-side logical representation of the Microsoft Azure File service.             //This client is used to configure and execute requests against the File service.             Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage.File.CloudFileClient fileClient = storageAccount.CreateCloudFileClient();                         //Represents a share in the Microsoft Azure File service.             Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage.File.CloudFileShare share = fileClient.GetShareReference("Your file share name");             //If not exist throw error             if (!share.Exists(null, null))             {                 throw error(strFmt("File share not exists."));             }             //Represents a directory of files which hold directories, and directories hold files.             Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage.File.CloudFileDirectory cloudDir = share.GetRootDirectoryReference();             container conFolders = str2con(_folderName, '/');             for (int i = 1; i <= conlen(conFolders); i++)             {                 str folderName = conpeek(conFolders, i);                 //Gets a reference to a virtual blob directory beneath this container.                 cloudDir = cloudDir.GetDirectoryReference(folderName);                 cloudDir.CreateIfNotExists(null, null);             }             //Represents a file in the Microsoft Azure File service.             Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage.File.CloudFile file = cloudDir.GetFileReference(_fileName);             //Have to run Seek on Stream.             if (_fileContentInStream.CanSeek)             {                 _fileContentInStream.Seek(0, System.IO.SeekOrigin::Begin);             }             //Uploads a stream to a file. If the file already exists on the service, it will be overwritten             file.UploadFromStream(_fileContentInStream, null, null, null);             return true;         }         catch         {             return false;         }     }

That is all you have to do to upload files on azure storage accounts.
