Difference between CloudBlobDirectory and using a delimiter in Azure Storage?

What is the difference between using the CloudBlobDirectory and using a Delimited Blob List h开发者_StackOverflow中文版ttp://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd179465.aspx#DelimitedBlobList

When would I use each one?

Your own answer is mostly correct. CloudBlobDirectory is a client-side artifact that comes into play any time you list blobs with a delimiter (not just ListBlobsWithPrefix). It maps to the <BlobPrefix> element that comes back in the body of a (delimited) List Blobs operation.

It appears that "CloudBlobDirectory" is not an object that is explicitly created on the server, however it is a client side object within the SDK that is retured with CloudBlobClient.ListBlobsWithPrefix

Please correct me if I'm mistaken.
