Can someone give me an example when the console application accesses the azure repository

Question

I am trying to access Azure Storage from a console application as follows:

CloudStorageAccount storageAccount = CloudStorageAccount.FromConfigurationSetting("myConnectionString");  

where the connection string looks something like this:

DefaultEndpointsProtocol = https; AccountName = XXX; AccountKey = XXX

but I get an exception:

Fixed System.Runtime.InteropServices.SEHException Message = External component throws an exception. Source = msshrtmi ErrorCode = -2147467259

Stacktrace:

   at RoleEnvironmentGetConfigurationSettingValueW(UInt16* , UInt16* , UInt64 , UInt64* )

InnerException

Do I need to run azure services or something else before starting my application?
