Accessing Azure Storage Tables from C++ code [closed]

Question

I have a c++ dll running on azure instance role with no problems. I want the dll to be able to access - read and write - into an Azure Storage account. Specifically, read and write to a storage table. Is it even possible?
Would appreciate any examples!

thanks, Nava

Answer 1

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

You can have a look at this and that questions for C++ REST library.

Then you can revice the Azure Storage Services REST API Reference for more details on what you want to achieve.

Hope this helps!

EDIT

Just looked the the POCO libraries, noted they have HTTPRequest and HTTPResponse classes. They, along with X509Certificate should be enough to make a valid REST call to Azure management service.

Not sure if you are still interested in accessing Azure storage with C++, but the Microsoft team has been working on this for the last several months. Check out the Casablanca libraries on DevLabs.
