Azure-docs: The example title says its for .NET but all the code examples are in Azure CLI

[clisc]

I clicked on the link for "Set and retrieve a secret -.NET". I expected the examples to be in C#. However, all the examples are in Azure CLI. Do you have examples of how to use this in C#?

@clisc Thank you for your feedback . We will investigate and update the thread further.

There is a good blog post on this that you can reference.

As for Microsoft official documentation, this might be a better guide to use than the one here. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/key-vault/tutorial-net-create-vault-azure-web-app

There is a Nuget package that allows you to connect to Azure Keyvault without specifying the Azure Active Directory Client Id.

Microsoft.Azure.Services.AppAuthentication
You also need to install the Microsoft.Azure.KeyVault nuget package.

using Microsoft.Azure.KeyVault;
using Microsoft.Azure.Services.AppAuthentication;

...

var azureServiceTokenProvider = new AzureServiceTokenProvider();
var keyVaultClient = new KeyVaultClient(
     new KeyVaultClient.AuthenticationCallback(azureServiceTokenProvider.KeyVaultTokenCallback));
var secret = await keyVaultClient.GetSecretAsync(
    "https://{{my-vault-name}}.vault.azure.net/", "{{my-secret}}");

If you would like more documentation I would recommend leaving this request in User Voice where the product team can directly address it. https://feedback.azure.com/forums/169401-azure-active-directory

It doesn't look like the issue with the documentation was fixed:

[clisc]

Can you see how I clearly clicked on "Set and retrieve a secret - .NET" but the example on the right shows "Azure CLI"? This is not correct. Azure CLI is the first item in the list of Quickstarts in the menu on the left.

[clisc]

How do I reopen this issue since it was not resolved?

Hi @clisc ,

The title and the document are correct and intentional. We want to demonstrate how to retrieve a secret in .NET. But before that all other commands are usually 1 time and can be done via Command Line. Is there anything specific you want to see done in .NET?

[clisc]

I guess I don't understand. I only see "Azure CLI" code examples in the quickstart and I don't see any .NET code at all. Where are you demonstrating how to retrieve a secret in .NET?

[prashanthyv]

If you go through the entire tutorial starting this section - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/key-vault/quick-create-net#clone-the-repo which asks you to clone a repo is written in c#. And it shows how to fetch a secret from Key Vault in C#

[clisc]

Thanks - I was looking for the code inline with the documentation like other examples and did not see that the example had to be downloaded.

@clisc - Glad you found it. In the other example also we ask for users to git clone the repo - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/key-vault/quick-create-node
