Run the application

Now that the application has been rebuilt it is time to run the application with the updated code. If not already open, open a Command Prompt and navigate to D:gitstorage-dotnet-perf-scale-app.

Type dotnet run to run the application.

The application reads the containers located in the storage account specified in the storageconnectionstring. It iterates through the blobs 10 at a time using the ListBlobsSegmented method in the containers and downloads them to the local machine using the DownloadToFileAsync method.The following table shows the BlobRequestOptions that are defined for each blob as it is downloaded.

PropertyValueDescription
DisableContentMD5ValidationtrueThis property disables checking the MD5 hash of the content uploaded. Disabling MD5 validation produces a faster transfer. But does not confirm the validity or integrity of the files being transferred.
StoreBlobContentMD5falseThis property determines if an MD5 hash is calculated and stored.

The DownloadFilesAsync task is shown in the following example:

Validate the connections

While the files are being downloaded, you can verify the number of concurrent connections to your storage account. Open a Command Prompt and type netstat -a | find /c 'blob:https'. This command shows the number of connections that are currently opened using netstat. The following example shows a similar output to what you see when running the tutorial yourself. As you can see from the example, over 280 connections were open when downloading the random files from the storage account.
