The type or namespace name 'Storage' does not exist in the namespace 'Microsoft.WindowsAzure'

azure, azure-blob-storage, visual-studio-2013

Solution

On May 12th Microsoft released WindowsAzure.Storage 4.0 on NuGet. Upgrading to this package from 3.1 fixes the issue.

Problem

I updated to Visual Studio 2013 Update 2 RC and to Azure SDK 2.3. Now I get the following error: ``` The type or namespace name 'Storage' does not exist in the namespace 'Microsoft.WindowsAzure' ``` On all three of these: ``` using Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage; using Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage.Auth; using Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage.Blob; ``` If I remove these using namespaces then I get the error: The type or namespace name 'CloudBlobClient' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) On this line: ``` CloudBlobClient _blobClient; ``` and I get the little underline in VS suggesting that I add in : using Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage.Blob; Which is the same namespace that that VS is telling me does not exist. Any ideas?
