I am trying to achieve a similar experience as in your CardView demo with the cities. The images are stored as block blobs in an Azure storage account. The blobs have tags, which i want to expose , similar to the meta from the demo where we have city name, population, country).
As far as i saw, there is no direct integration for CloudBlockBlob, so i am trying to place this in a byte array in order to display. Yet the outcome is an empty box in the grid, for each item from the container. the blobs are correctly downloaded, verified by writing the fileContent byte array to disk via filestream.
Any idea on how to achieve this?
Thank you!
public partial class Form1 : Form

string sasToken = "?st=2020-02-12T21%3A05%3A08Z&se=2021-02-13T21%3A05%3A00Z&sp=rl&sv=2018-03-28&sr=c&sig=*redacted*";
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
public List<IListBlobItem> MainBody3(string id)
{
StorageCredentials accountSAS = new StorageCredentials(sasToken);
// Use these credentials and the account name to create a Blob service client.
CloudStorageAccount account = new CloudStorageAccount(accountSAS, "storage_account_name", endpointSuffix: null, useHttps: true);
CloudBlobClient client = account.CreateCloudBlobClient();
CloudBlobContainer container = client.GetContainerReference("images-analyzed-sampled");
BlobContinuationToken token = null;
List<BlobInfo> blobi = new List<BlobInfo>();
List<IListBlobItem> poze = new List<IListBlobItem>();
BlobRequestOptions options = new BlobRequestOptions();
var myResults = new DataSet();
do
{
var result = container.ListBlobsSegmented(null, true, new BlobListingDetails(), 20, token, null, null);
token = result.ContinuationToken;
var blobs = result.Results;
foreach (IListBlobItem item in blobs)
{
var blob = item as CloudBlockBlob;
long fileByteLength = blob.Properties.Length;
byte[] fileContent = new byte[fileByteLength];
for (int i = 0; i < fileByteLength; i++)
{
fileContent[i] = 0x20;
}
radCardView1.Items.Add(blob.DownloadToByteArray(fileContent, 0));
}
} while (token != null);
return poze;
}

Hello,
According to the provided information, it seems that you download your images from the cloud and you want to use them in RadCardView. I would like to note that it is necessary to have the images locally on your machine before applying them to card view. Then, you can store the image path. Note that RadCardView.Items collection expects ListViewDataItems to be added, not the image itself. Take a look at the following help article: https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/winforms/controls/cardview/populating-with-data/unbound-mode#adding-items-and-populating-cells.
In the CardViewItemFormatting event, you can get the image by the specified file path and assign it to CardViewItem. For your reference, I created a sample project demonstrating how you can set an image by using an image path. Could you please check it and see how it works.
I hope this helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Nadya
