Azure File Share Error in create a new file share

My client gave me to work on windows azure storage.

He wants to store his files in container, blobs.

He gave these URLs
https://xxx.blob.core.windows.net/
https://xxx.queue.core.windows.net/
https://xxx.table.core.windows.net/

Now, I trying to create a new file share using the client lib.
I have written this code.

//Create a CloudFileClient object for credentialed access to File storage.
            CloudFileClient fileClient = storageAccount.CreateCloudFileClient();

            CloudFileShare share = fileClient.GetShareReference("sampleshare");

            share.CreateIfNotExists();
            //Get a reference to the root directory for the share.
            CloudFileDirectory rootDir = share.GetRootDirectoryReference();

Open in new window

When I run this code I am getting an error
The remote name could not be resolved: 'xxx.file.core.windows.net'

I am not sure why this error is coming?
Can any one help me out here please

The error is due to that the file service is still not enabled on your subscription so contact azure team and they will enable it for you.
