Microsoft Azure Dns management client library for .NET

  • Article

Microsoft Azure Dns is a hosting service for Dns domains that provides name resolution by using Microsoft Azure infrastructure. By hosting your domains in Microsoft Azure, you can manage your Dns records by using the same credentials, APIs, tools, and billing as your other Azure services.

This library supports managing Microsoft Azure Dns resources.

This library follows the new Azure SDK guidelines, and provides many core capabilities:

- Support MSAL.NET, Azure.Identity is out of box for supporting MSAL.NET.
- Support [OpenTelemetry](https://opentelemetry.io/) for distributed tracing.
- HTTP pipeline with custom policies.
- Better error-handling.
- Support uniform telemetry across all languages.

Getting started

Install the package

Install the Azure DNS management library for .NET with NuGet:

Examples

Create a Dns zone

ArmClient armClient = new ArmClient(new DefaultAzureCredential());
SubscriptionResource subscription = await armClient.GetDefaultSubscriptionAsync();
// first we need to get the resource group
string rgName = "myRgName";
ResourceGroupResource resourceGroup = await subscription.GetResourceGroups().GetAsync(rgName);
// Now we get the DnsZone collection from the resource group
DnsZoneCollection dnsZoneCollection = resourceGroup.GetDnsZones();
// Use the same location as the resource group
string dnsZoneName = "sample.com";
DnsZoneData data = new DnsZoneData("Global")
{
};
ArmOperation<DnsZoneResource> lro = await dnsZoneCollection.CreateOrUpdateAsync(WaitUntil.Completed, dnsZoneName, data);
DnsZoneResource dnsZone = lro.Value;

Get all Dns zones in a resource group

ArmClient armClient = new ArmClient(new DefaultAzureCredential());
SubscriptionResource subscription = await armClient.GetDefaultSubscriptionAsync();
// first we need to get the resource group
string rgName = "myRgName";
ResourceGroupResource resourceGroup = await subscription.GetResourceGroups().GetAsync(rgName);
// Now we get the DnsZone collection from the resource group
DnsZoneCollection dnsZoneCollection = resourceGroup.GetDnsZones();
// With ListAsync(), we can get a list of the DnsZones
AsyncPageable<DnsZoneResource> response = dnsZoneCollection.GetAllAsync();
await foreach (DnsZoneResource dnsZone in response)
{
    Console.WriteLine(dnsZone.Data.Name);
}

Delete a Dns zone

ArmClient armClient = new ArmClient(new DefaultAzureCredential());
SubscriptionResource subscription = await armClient.GetDefaultSubscriptionAsync();
// first we need to get the resource group
string rgName = "myRgName";
ResourceGroupResource resourceGroup = await subscription.GetResourceGroups().GetAsync(rgName);
// Now we get the DnsZone collection from the resource group
DnsZoneCollection dnsZoneCollection = resourceGroup.GetDnsZones();
string dnsZoneName = "sample.com";
DnsZoneResource dnsZone = await dnsZoneCollection.GetAsync(dnsZoneName);
await dnsZone.DeleteAsync(WaitUntil.Completed);
