Access Azure Storage Tables from C ++ Code

Question

I have a C ++ dll working as an azure instance role without any problems. I want the DLL to be able to access - read and write - to an Azure Storage account. In particular, reading and writing to the storage table. Is it possible?
Would thank for any examples!

thanks Nav

Answer 1

Since everything in Windows Azure Platform is managed through REST services, you just need a reliable REST library for C ++ to accomplish what you need.

You can look at this and which sets for the C ++ REST library.

You can then revise the "REST API Guide for Azure Storage Services" for more details on what you want to achieve.

Hope this helps!

EDIT

Just looked at the POCO libraries , noted that they are HTTPRequest and HTTPResponse . They, along with the X509Certificate , should be sufficient to make a valid REST call by Azure Management.

Not sure if you're still interested in accessing the Azure repository with C ++, but the Microsoft team has been working on this for the past few months. Check out the Casablanca libraries on DevLabs.
