Unable To Read File From Blob Storage In Azure Function

I am trying to read a text file from Blob Storage using a Azure Function App. My goal is to read the file, which is a CSV, and reformat it into a new CSV with additional details added that isn't in the original CSV file.

I keep getting the following compilation error:

2018-11-28T00:22:34.125 [Error] run.csx(60,19): error CS1061: 'CloudBlockBlob' does not contain a definition for 'DownloadToStream' and no extension method 'DownloadToStream' accepting a first argument of type 'CloudBlockBlob' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

I can copy the Blob Storage section of the code into a Console Application's project and it will compile just fine.

Am I missing a reference?

This is the full function minus the connection string for the Blob Storage.

V2 function is based on .Net Core env hence it references Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage assembly depending on .Net Standard, which has no synchronous API, it means we need *Async method.

await blockBlob2.DownloadToStreamAsync(memoryStream);

According to your code and error message, you did not use the method DownloadToStream correctly. For more details, please refer to the document.

       CloudBlockBlob blockBlob = container.GetBlockBlobReference(blobName);
        var blobRequestOptions = new BlobRequestOptions
        {
            ServerTimeout = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(30),
            MaximumExecutionTime = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(120),
            RetryPolicy = new ExponentialRetry(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(3), maxRetryCount),
        };

        using (var memoryStream = new MemoryStream())
        {
            blockBlob.DownloadToStream(memoryStream, null, blobRequestOptions);
        }
