Creating OS disk from VHD stored in another storage account - azure-sdk-.net

Question

Have an existing PowerShell script that is creating VM's using pre-created VHD's stored in a storage account (copied across regional storage accounts for speed).
In PS we can use the following:
New-AzureRmDisk -DiskName $osDiskName -Disk `
(New-AzureRmDiskConfig -AccountType Premium_LRS `
-Location $location -CreateOption Import `
-StorageAccountId $storageAccountId `
-SourceUri $osVHDUri) `
-ResourceGroupName $resourceGroupName
$osDisk = Get-AzureRMDisk -DiskName $osDiskName -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroupName
$VirtualMachine = Set-AzureRmVMOSDisk -VM $VirtualMachine -ManagedDiskId $osDisk.Id -CreateOption Attach -Windows -StorageAccountType Premium_LRS
Where $storageAccountId is similar to:
/subscriptions/{0}/resourceGroups/my-snapshot/providers/Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts/mysnapshots -f $sourceSnapshotSubscriptionId
In the .net Azure SDK, I don't see a way to replicate this? When I try to create, it's saying unable to find, yet my PS works ok.

If you want to use an existing disk instead of a marketplace image, use this code:
var managedDisk = azure.Disks.Define("myosdisk")
.WithRegion(location)
.WithExistingResourceGroup(groupName)
.WithWindowsFromVhd("https://mystorage.blob.core.windows.net/vhds/myosdisk.vhd")
.WithSizeInGB(128)
.WithSku(DiskSkuTypes.PremiumLRS)
.Create();
azure.VirtualMachines.Define("myVM")
.WithRegion(location)
.WithExistingResourceGroup(groupName)
.WithExistingPrimaryNetworkInterface(networkInterface)
.WithSpecializedOSDisk(managedDisk, OperatingSystemTypes.Windows)
.WithExistingAvailabilitySet(availabilitySet)
.WithSize(VirtualMachineSizeTypes.StandardDS1)
.Create();
