I'm trying to create a Windows service that will detect when a new blob is uploaded to a certain container on Azure and download them onto the local machine immediately. I know I can have a blob trigger running locally but there doesn't seem to be any way to put this into a service. Does anyone have any ideas?
You should be able to do this with using the standard WebJobs SDK with a blob trigger, but running as a service instead of a console app.
You can find more information about using the blob trigger with the SDK directly here: https://github.com/Azure/azure-webjobs-sdk/wiki/Blobs

We have logs on our application server hosted in Azure cloud. We want to show the logs to the customer who does not have access to the application server directly. We decided to use Azure sync to synchronize the logs from the app server to Azure File storage and enable view those logs from Azure Storage Explorer. The sync all works fine, but I am unable to sort the logs based on modified date-time. Our production server has 1000s of log files and it is not easy to search through the files to check logs. Any idea how to bring the modified date-time in Storage explorer? Or Is there any another approach?
In the Azure file explorer App, fileshares don't have the date column, only Blob containers do, indeed.
However, if you mount the fileshare as a drive on your computer, you'll get the date info and will be able to sort.
The command script (Powershell) to mount the fileshare as a drive on Windows is available in the Azure portal.
i have created a function app using blob trigger. The purpose of this function is whenever the blob created, it has to transfer/copy the file from blob storage container to appservice wwwrrootfolder where my web application resides.
Not exactly using Azure Function, but I think the easiest way is using Logic Apps + Blob Trigger and FTP connectors:

I'm trying to find any way to publish my console app (.net) written for azure data factory v2.
But could not find any solution.
More details would be really appreciated but if you mean that you are using the .NET SDK to create ADF V2 objects, my understanding is that there is no such thing as publish compared to the new User Interface in the portal where you create/edit the objects first and then you click on publish.
if you use the library they get automatically uploaded to ADF V2 and you can easily test that now with the new UI.
It would be useful to have a bit more info on your context. You're talking about running a custom activity from an Azure Batch account? What did you try already?
When running a custom activity, you'll have to upload your executable + depedencies to an Azure storage account. Create a blob container and copy the files there. Then you'll have to configure the activity to use this storage account and the point it to the right container.
If you're asking for a deployment like a right-click -> deploy option, it doesn't exist. I've automated my deployments using PowerShell, using Set-AzureStorageBlobContent to write the files to the Storage account.
We are trying to upload the artifact to blob storage from TFS build server. AzCopy task needs the azure subscription details, which is not available to us. We need to upload the artifacts to azure blob storage using azure blob storage connection string. Is there a way to upload files to blob storage using connection string only.
Anything you can do from PowerShell you can do from build and release. There is a task named "PowerShell" and one named "Azure PowerShell". If you don't have the Azure subscription details I doubt you will be able to use the "Azure PowerShell" task. However, if you have a PowerShell script you run locally that works you might be able to simply run it as part of your build with the "PowerShell" task.
Option two is have someone that knows the details to create an Azure Service Endpoint for you. They never have to share the details with you to make the connection. Once the connection is created you can use it without having to ever know the details.
i am new to the windows azure web application deployment.
i developed mvc web application and publish to the windows azure cloud platform.
i have one folder name Messages, that contains the images that i have upload via application. now after user upload images in web app once the app is published on cloud.
next time when i republish the application to the cloud
that "Messages" folder contents (images) are removed.
can you please help me, how to resolve this?

This is the expected behavior. Anytime you redeploy your application, new VMs are created for your application. You should not store anything that you want to persist on VM. Instead store them in blob storage. So in your case, you should upload the image and once the image is uploaded, transfer it to blob storage.
