Correct way to escape an Azure Storage Blob Name

Question

I am uploading files from a windows systems to Azure storage blobs

The local file names may contain characters that are invalid in blob names

I need a way of encoding these names as to fulfill the requirements set out by MSDN on blob storage names, as shown below

A blob name must conforming to the following naming rules:

• A blob name can contain any combination of characters.
• A blob name must be at least one character long and cannot be more than 1,024 characters long.
• Blob names are case-sensitive.
• Reserved URL characters must be properly escaped.
• The number of path segments comprising the blob name cannot exceed 254. A path segment is the string between consecutive delimiter characters (e.g., the forward slash '/') that corresponds to the name of a virtual directory.

The pertinent information above is "Reserved URL characters must be properly escaped. However, what method is the "standard" to use?

Answer 1

You can use Uri.EscapeUriString(yourStringToEscape)

See docs here

You still have to do the other ones manually i.e the length and path segments .etc.
