Azure Storage container size

Question

How can I get a size of container in Azure Storage? I access Azure storage via C# API:

var account = CloudStorageAccount.Parse(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["AzureStoragePrimary"]);
var client = account.CreateCloudBlobClient();
var container = client.GetContainerReference("myContainer");

A potentially more complete approach. The key difference, is the second param in the listblobs() call, which enforces a flat listing:

public class StorageReport
{
    public int FileCount { get; set; }
    public int DirectoryCount { get; set; }
    public long TotalBytes { get; set; }
}

//embdeded in some method
StorageReport report = new StorageReport() { 
    FileCount = 0,
    DirectoryCount = 0,
    TotalBytes = 0
};


foreach (IListBlobItem blobItem in container.ListBlobs(null, true, BlobListingDetails.None))
{
    if (blobItem is CloudBlockBlob)
    {
        CloudBlockBlob blob = blobItem as CloudBlockBlob;
        report.FileCount++;
        report.TotalBytes += blob.Properties.Length;
    }
    else if (blobItem is CloudPageBlob)
    {
        CloudPageBlob pageBlob = blobItem as CloudPageBlob;

        report.FileCount++;
        report.TotalBytes += pageBlob.Properties.Length;
    }
    else if (blobItem is CloudBlobDirectory)
    {
        CloudBlobDirectory directory = blobItem as CloudBlobDirectory;

        report.DirectoryCount++;
    }                        
}

CloudStorageAccount cloudStorageAccount = CloudStorageAccount.Parse(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["AzureStoragePrimary"]);
CloudBlobClient blobClient = account.CreateCloudBlobClient();
CloudBlobContainer blobContainer = blobClient.GetContainerReference("myContainer");
int fileSize = 0;
foreach (var blobItem in blobContainer.ListBlobs())
{
    fileSize += blobItem.Properties.Length;
} 

fileSize contains the size of container, i.e. total size of blobs (files) contained.
