Simplify creating a blob from this...
BlobProperties blobProperties = new BlobProperties(strBlobName);
FileStream stream = new FileStream(strFilePath);
BlobContents blobContents = new BlobContents(stream);
objBlobContainer.createBlob(blobProperties, blobContents, fOverwrite);

Be consistent with Blob Stream API terms and point of view (POV)

To put a blob into a container...
Blob objBlob = new Blob(strBlobName)
Stream objStream = FileStream(strFilePath);
objBlob.setContents(Stream objStream);
objBlob.setMetadata(Metadata objMetadata);
objBlobContainer.putBlob(objBlob, fOverwrite);

To get a blob from a container...
Blob objBlob = objBlobContainer.getBlob(strBlobName);
Stream objStream = objBlob.getContents();
Metadata objMetadata = objBlob.getMetadata();
