Get Azure Storage Account Regions using c#

Question

I need help with getting a list of all storage account regions using c# code. I tried creating a storage account in an unavailable location and catching the exception to get the regions, but I'm wondering if there's a better way to do this? Can someone share c# code that retrieves all the regions? Thanks in advance.

Attached are some screenshots for reference:

Hello Roy_Jaze,

Greetings! Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Platform.

You can retrieve a list of all Azure regions using the Azure Management Libraries for .NET. Here’s a sample C# code snippet that demonstrates how to do this:

using System;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using Azure.Identity;
using Azure.ResourceManager;
using Azure.ResourceManager.Resources;

class Program
{
    static async Task Main(string[] args)
    {
        var credential = new DefaultAzureCredential();
        var armClient = new ArmClient(credential);

        var subscription = await armClient.GetDefaultSubscriptionAsync();
        var locations = subscription.GetLocationsAsync();

        await foreach (var location in locations)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(location.DisplayName);
        }
    }
}

This code uses the Azure.Identity and Azure.ResourceManager libraries to authenticate and list all available regions for your subscription. Make sure you have the necessary NuGet packages installed:

dotnet add package Azure.Identity
dotnet add package Azure.ResourceManager

This approach is more efficient and reliable than creating a storage account in an unavailable location and catching exceptions.

Note: The above is an example code - Please modify per your requirements.
