The following code example demonstrates how to call the MapNameToOID method to retrieve an object identifier (OID) from the string name of the SHA1 algorithm. This code example is part of a larger example provided for the CryptoConfig class.
' (OID) from the string name of the SHA1 algorithm.
Dim sha1Oid As String = cryptoConfig.MapNameToOID("SHA1")
string sha1Oid = CryptoConfig.MapNameToOID("SHA1");
String^ sha1Oid = CryptoConfig::MapNameToOID( L"SHA1" );
