Windows Azure Web Role to Upload File to Blob Storage

Question

I'm looking for an up-to-date tutorial or code sample showing how to create a web role which contains a field and button which allows the user to upload a file to Azure Blob Storage.

Answer 1

I would take a look at this walk-through (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg651129.aspx) to get a feel on how to accomplish what you need. This is a console example, but, it should be trivial to translate it to a web based approach.

Answer 2

Take a look at the very first hands-on lab in the Windows Azure Platform Training Kit, titled "Introduction to Windows Azure." This lab builds an ASP.NET MVC Guestbook application, which allows the end user to upload an image (which is then stored in Blob storage).
