Documentation issue (AddAzureStorage/AddConnectionString)

[hognevevle]

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/aspire/azure/integrations-overview?tabs=dotnet-cli#add-connection-to-existing-azure-resources

Here, the following code is provided:

var builder = DistributedApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

var storage = builder.ExecutionContext.IsPublishMode
    ? builder.AddAzureStorage("storage")
    : builder.AddConnectionString("storage");

builder.AddProject<Projects.Api>("api")
       .WithReference(storage);

// After adding all resources, run the app...

This, however, does not compile: There is no implicit conversion between 'Aspire.Hosting.ApplicationModel.IResourceBuilder<Aspire.Hosting.Azure.AzureStorageResource>' and 'Aspire.Hosting.ApplicationModel.IResourceBuilder<Aspire.Hosting.ApplicationModel.IResourceWithConnectionString>'

You need to call AddBlobs/Queues/Tables. You can't reference a storage account directly.

Thanks, that's what I ended up doing in the end. I'd usually expect the docs to provide valid code, though. Can I contribute an update to that page?
