Hi,

Already searched the web but still having the problem: No valid combination of account information found. when running my Console App.

App.config

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
    <startup> 
        <supportedRuntime version="v4.0" sku=".NETFramework,Version=v4.5" />
    </startup>
  <appSettings>
    <add key="StorageConnectionString" value="DefaultEndPointsProtocol=http;AccountName=xyz;AccountKey=/yyyaRQYTN56gGwWCzSkVO9ysA7qMHYVSxL+d8inJv9Rq43Fx8ClIuDNlOHhK53xIcG4hJCT9jVP+x/D2LAVjQ==" />
  </appSettings>
</configuration>

Statement causing the error:

 CloudStorageAccount storageAccount = CloudStorageAccount.Parse(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["StorageConnectionString"]);

I'm following exact as in:

https://www.microsoftpressstore.com/articles/article.aspx?p=2315377

and

http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/storage-dotnet-how-to-use-queues/

Tried this and worked:

var storageAccount = CloudStorageAccount.Parse("DefaultEndpointsProtocol=http;AccountName=xyz;AccountKey=/yyyRQYTN56gGwWCzSkVO9ysA7qMHYVSxL+d8inJv9Rq43Fx8ClIuDNlOHhK53xIcG4hJCT9jVP+x/D2LAVjQ==");

Obviously something is wrong in App.config or reading App.config. However, I copied exactly the same string from App.config and pasted it in the code snippet above!

What can be wrong with app.config?

Thanks.

Hi Guy,

Please do not add any PII information when posting a query on a public forum.
You can instead replace them with ***.

Have you tried re-entering the credentials by using the GUI instead of editing the configuration files directly?
Sometimes the version of the SDK is case sensitive, please make sure you have written "true" in lower case and used correct casing for "UseDevelopmentStorage".

Malar.

Hi Malar,

If you mean the Account Name and Account Key: these are not the real name & key. (Instead of using *** I used xyz and yyy).

Have you tried re-entering the credentials by using the GUI instead of editing the configuration files directly? 

No I haven't. But the strange is when entering the key directly in the program everything works, when reading the key from App.config it gives the  error. Anyway I'll try by using the GUI.

I didn''t use "UseDevelopmentStorage". Do I need this?

Thanks.
Guy
