    var account = newCloudStorageAccount(credentials, true);
    varblobClient = account.CreateCloudBlobClient();
    var container = blobClient.GetContainerReference("myowncontainer");
    awaitcontainer.CreateIfNotExistsAsync();
    BlobContinuationToken x = newBlobContinuationToken();
    BlobResultSegment result = awaitcontainer.ListBlobsSegmentedAsync(x);
    List < string > dataSet = newList < string > ();
    foreach(var item inresult.Results)
    {
        dataSet.Add(item.Uri.AbsoluteUri);
        //Debug.WriteLine(item.Uri.AbsoluteUri);
