Public Overridable Function OpenWrite (Optional accessCondition As AccessCondition = Nothing, Optional options As BlobRequestOptions = Nothing, Optional operationContext As OperationContext = Nothing) As CloudBlobStream

Parameters

accessCondition: AccessCondition

An AccessCondition object that represents the condition that must be met in order for the request to proceed. If null, no condition is used.

options: BlobRequestOptions

A BlobRequestOptions object that specifies additional options for the request. If null, default options are applied to the request.

operationContext: OperationContext

An OperationContext object that represents the context for the current operation.

Returns

CloudBlobStream

Attributes: DoesServiceRequestAttribute

Remarks

Note that this method always makes a call to the FetchAttributes(AccessCondition, BlobRequestOptions, OperationContext) method under the covers.

Set the StreamWriteSizeInBytes property before calling this method to specify the block size to write, in bytes, ranging from between 16 KB and 100 MB inclusive.

To throw an exception if the blob exists instead of overwriting it, pass in an AccessCondition object generated using GenerateIfNotExistsCondition().
