usingMicrosoft.WindowsAzure.Storage.Blob;
usingSystem.Diagnostics;
protectedasyncoverridevoidOnNavigatedTo(NavigationEventArgs e)
{
    var credentials = newStorageCredentials("fortestingnew", "96OdFITud72q8RTfhsJeM1i1Yov8Qlrk9sXLBKOjh7FtOsxYV3klrScv7AE53R8keH9Ylj8JTbBSf177wBDjIw==");
    var account = newCloudStorageAccount(credentials, true);
    varblobClient = account.CreateCloudBlobClient();
    var container = blobClient.GetContainerReference("myowncontainer");
    awaitcontainer.CreateIfNotExistsAsync();
    BlobContinuationToken x = newBlobContinuationToken();
    BlobResultSegment result = awaitcontainer.ListBlobsSegmentedAsync(x);
    List < string > dataSet = newList < string > ();
    foreach(var item inresult.Results)
    {
        dataSet.Add(item.Uri.AbsoluteUri);
        //Debug.WriteLine(item.Uri.AbsoluteUri);
    }
    myListBox.ItemsSource = dataSet;
    //container.ListBlobsSegmentedAsync(string.Empty, true, Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage.Blob.BlobListingDetails.All, null, tokenSource);
}

Now run the App.
