(VB.NET UWP/WinRT) Azure File Service: Upload Large File

Sample code to upload a large file to a directory in a share in the Azure File Service. A file is uploaded by first creating the file in the Azure share and then writing ranges of bytes to the file. Azure imposes a 4MB limit for each PUT to write a range. Files larger than 4MB need to be uploaded by making multiple "Put Range" calls. This example uploads a large file requiring multiple "Put Range" calls.

' See:  https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/storageservices/create-share

' This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
' See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

' Note: The application does not need to explicitly set the following
' headers: x-ms-date, Authorization.  These headers
' are automatically set by Chilkat.

' Send a PUT request to create the file (or replace the file if it already exists).
' This will initialize the file in the Azure file storage.  To upload content, we'll need
' to do the "Put Range" operation one or more times.
