I'm looking for a C# method that will return all files (in all sub-directories) in an Azure file share.

Have an example but it throws a run time error. I've tried the code example below which I got from here however it throws an exception.

I have pasted the code in here but if anyone has a method that walks the entrire Azure directory get gets files that would be great.

CloudFileDirectory dir = fclient.GetShareReference(share.ToString()).GetRootDirectoryReference();

foreach (IListFileItem file in dir.ListFilesAndDirectories()) //.Directory.ListFilesAndDirectories())

 list_subdir(file);
 

And the method.

public static void list_subdir(IListFileItem list)

 Console.WriteLine("subdir");
 CloudFileDirectory fileDirectory = (CloudFileDirectory)list;
 IEnumerable<IListFileItem> fileList = fileDirectory.ListFilesAndDirectories();

 foreach (IListFileItem listItem in fileList)
 
 if (listItem.GetType() == typeof(Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage.File.CloudFileDirectory))
 
 list_subdir(listItem);
 
 else
 
 Console.WriteLine(listItem.Uri.Segments.Last());

I have the nuget package WindowsAzure.Storage, version 9.3.3 installed. And the code below works fine for me, all files in sub-directories are listed.

 static void Main(string[] args)
 
 string accountName = "xxx";
 string key = "xxxx";
 var storageAccount = new CloudStorageAccount(new StorageCredentials(accountName, key), true);
 var share = storageAccount.CreateCloudFileClient().GetShareReference("testfolder");
 IEnumerable<IListFileItem> fileList = share.GetRootDirectoryReference().ListFilesAndDirectories();
 foreach (IListFileItem listItem in fileList)
 
 if (listItem.GetType() == typeof(CloudFile))
 
 Console.WriteLine(listItem.Uri.Segments.Last());
 
 else if(listItem.GetType() == typeof(CloudFileDirectory))
 
 list_subdir(listItem);
 
 

 Console.WriteLine("done now");
 Console.ReadLine();
 

 public static void list_subdir(IListFileItem list)
 
 //Console.WriteLine("subdir");
 CloudFileDirectory fileDirectory = (CloudFileDirectory)list;
 IEnumerable<IListFileItem> fileList = fileDirectory.ListFilesAndDirectories();

 foreach (IListFileItem listItem in fileList)
 
 if (listItem.GetType() == typeof(CloudFileDirectory))
 
 list_subdir(listItem);
 
 else
 
 Console.WriteLine(listItem.Uri.Segments.Last());
 
 

 

The directories in file share:

root:

sub-directory 1:

sub-directory 2:

Test result: all files in sub-directories are listed:
