Why CloudBlobClient does not contain a definition for GetBlockBlobReference?

Question

I am trying to upload a file to a new container of a Blob following this Example.

I am creating the container like this and looks fine.

var blobStorage = storageAccount.CreateCloudBlobClient();
CloudBlobContainer container = blobStorage.GetContainerReference("productimages");
if (container.CreateIfNotExists())
{
    var permissions = container.GetPermissions();
    permissions.PublicAccess = BlobContainerPublicAccessType.Container;
    container.SetPermissions(permissions);
}

But trying to call the GetBlockBlobReference from a CloudBlobContainer shows me that the method doesn't exist.

string uniqueBlobName = string.Format("productimages/image_{0}{1}", guid, ext);
CloudBlockBlob blob = blobStorage.GetBlockBlobReference(uniqueBlobName);

I have been trying to obtain documentation about the method, but it looks like is no longer avaliable in docs.microsoft. I think than I am doing somethign fool. Any help is welcome.
