cloudStorageAccount

before migrating to 2.0, the code below worked (type CloudStorageAccount was in namespace StorageClient):

CloudStorageAccount cloudStorageAccount = CloudStorageAccount.Parse(
    RoleEnvironment.GetConfigurationSettingValue(wadConnectionString));


var roleInstanceDiagnosticManager = cloudStorageAccount.CreateRoleInstanceDiagnosticManager(
    RoleEnvironment.DeploymentId,
    RoleEnvironment.CurrentRoleInstance.Role.Name,
    RoleEnvironment.CurrentRoleInstance.Id);

StorageClient was removed in 2.0, so now I have to use

Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage.CloudStorageAccount

, bit this type does not have the method CreateRoleInstanceDiagnosticManager

So how can I get the instance returned by CreateRoleInstanceDiagnosticManager previously, as I use it for my Performance Counters and Logs

It certainly looks like there was a change at 2.0 and doesn't act like an extension method any more - which means you may not need the CloudStorageAccount you have at the top I just ran into this myself.

Try this:

CloudStorageAccount cloudStorageAccount = CloudStorageAccount.Parse(
                       RoleEnvironment.GetConfigurationSettingValue(wadConnectionString));

var roleInstanceDiagnosticManager = CloudAccountDiagnosticMonitorExtensions.CreateRoleInstanceDiagnosticManager(
            RoleEnvironment.GetConfigurationSettingValue(wadConnectionString),
            RoleEnvironment.DeploymentId,
            RoleEnvironment.CurrentRoleInstance.Role.Name,
            RoleEnvironment.CurrentRoleInstance.Id);

It does not work, as CreateRoleInstanceDiagnosticManager extension references an old CloudStorageAccount. The workaround would be to use DeploymentDiagnosticManager

var storageConnectionString = RoleEnvironment.GetConfigurationSettingValue(
                   "Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Plugins.Diagnostics.ConnectionString");
var deploymentDiagnosticManager = new DeploymentDiagnosticManager(
                                      storageConnectionString,
                                      RoleEnvironment.DeploymentId);
return deploymentDiagnosticManager.GetRoleInstanceDiagnosticManager(
                        RoleEnvironment.CurrentRoleInstance.Role.Name,
                        RoleEnvironment.CurrentRoleInstance.Id);`

In addition to Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage you need to reference an old Microsoft.WindowsAzure.StorageClient, as AzureDiagnostics references that assembly.

What you do is first include the following name space:

using Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Diagnostics.Management;

Then use the code below:

 CloudStorageAccount cloudStorageAccount =
     cloudStorageAccount.Parse(RoleEnvironment.GetConfigurationSettingValue
         (wadConnectionString));

 RoleInstanceDiagnosticManager roleInstanceDiagnosticManager =   
            cloudStorageAccount.CreateRoleInstanceDiagnosticManager
            (RoleEnvironment.DeploymentId,
            RoleEnvironment.CurrentRoleInstance.Role.Name,
            RoleEnvironment.CurrentRoleInstance.Id);

I just tested above code with SDK 1.8 & Storage Client 2.0.
