CspParameters.KeyContainerName Field
.NET Framework 4
Represents the key container name for CspParameters.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Use the KeyContainerName field to specify a name for your key container. You can use the container name to retrieve the persisted key within that container.
For more information about creating key containers, see How to: Store Asymmetric Keys in a Key Container.
The following code example creates a key container using the CspParameters class and saves the key in the container.
using System; using System.IO; using System.Security.Cryptography; public class StoreKey { public static void Main() { // creates the CspParameters object and sets the key container name used to store the RSA key pair CspParameters cp = new CspParameters(); cp.KeyContainerName = "MyKeyContainerName"; // instantiates the rsa instance accessing the key container MyKeyContainerName RSACryptoServiceProvider rsa = new RSACryptoServiceProvider(cp); // add the below line to delete the key entry in MyKeyContainerName // rsa.PersistKeyInCsp = false; //writes out the current key pair used in the rsa instance Console.WriteLine("Key is : \n" + rsa.ToXmlString(true)); } }
