Azure Storage Queue Exception

Question

I am using Nuget version WindowsAzure.Storage 8.1.1 when i use the basic code to add message to storage queue. this is the code snipe found online that i use, it fails on queue.CreateIfNotExists();

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

// Create the queue client.
CloudQueueClient queueClient = storageAccount.CreateCloudQueueClient();

// Retrieve a reference to a queue.
CloudQueue queue = queueClient.GetQueueReference("queueName");

// Create the queue if it doesn't already exist.
queue.CreateIfNotExists();

// Create a message and add it to the queue.
CloudQueueMessage couldMessage = new CloudQueueMessage(message);
queue.AddMessage(couldMessage);

Using Fiddler here is my request (security has been set xxx )

PUT https://xxxxxx.queue.core.windows.net/queueName HTTP/1.1
User-Agent: Azure-Storage/8.1.1 (.NET CLR 4.0.30319.42000; Win32NT 10.0.10240.0)

I can see the error message is:

InvalidResourceNameThe specifed resource name contains invalid characters. RequestId:7b234b7d-0003-0040-3ba6-be7d43000000 Time:2017-04-26T16:00:04.8251125Z

i guess we can't use "queueName" as an actual name of a queue? — greektreat

No we can't. Please see this: learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/storageservices/fileservices/… — Gaurav Mantri

Just to close this out properly: Azure Storage Queue names must be all lower-case.

All naming conventions are documented here (a different link than provided in comments).
