Attributes

Remarks

Note that this method always makes a call to the FetchAttributes(AccessCondition, BlobRequestOptions, OperationContext) method under the covers. Set the StreamWriteSizeInBytes property before calling this method to specify the block size to write, in bytes, ranging from between 16 KB and 4 MB inclusive. If you have a single-writer scenario, see AbsorbConditionalErrorsOnRetry to determine whether setting this flag to true is acceptable for your scenario.
