Is it possible to use System.File.IO with Azure File Share?

Question

We can find everywhere how to use an azure file share with the rest api, but I have a legacy .net app that uses System.File.IO for accessing a file share. How can I access the file share using System.File.IO ? These azure file share were created for supporting legacy app but I don't see the point if I have to rewrite all my file access code.

Answer 1

I got the following solution, I run this at app start :

System.Diagnostics.Process process = new System.Diagnostics.Process();
System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo startInfo = new
System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo
            {
                FileName = "cmd.exe",
                Arguments =
                        string.Format("net use * {0}  /u:{1}", ConfigurationManager.ApplicationSettings("StaticServerRoot"), ConfigurationManager.ApplicationSettings("StaticServerRootCredentials"))
            };
process.StartInfo = startInfo;
process.Start();
process.Kill();

Where StaticServerRootCredentials looks like this "AZURE\{account} {key}"

I could use cmdkey
