Represents a collection of Oid objects. This class cannot be inherited.

System.Object
  System.Security.Cryptography.OidCollection

Namespace:  System.Security.Cryptography
Assembly:  System (in System.dll)
public sealed class OidCollection : ICollection, 
	IEnumerable

The OidCollection type exposes the following members.

  Name Description
Public method OidCollection Initializes a new instance of the OidCollection class.
Top
  Name Description
Public property Count Gets the number of Oid objects in a collection.
Public property IsSynchronized Gets a value that indicates whether access to the OidCollection object is thread safe.
Public property Item[Int32] Gets an Oid object from the OidCollection object.
Public property Item[String] Gets the first Oid object that contains a value of the Value property or a value of the FriendlyName property that matches the specified string value from the OidCollection object.
Public property SyncRoot Gets an object that can be used to synchronize access to the OidCollection object.

  Name Description
Public method Add Adds an Oid object to the OidCollection object.
Public method CopyTo Copies the OidCollection object into an array.
Public method Equals(Object) Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
Protected method Finalize Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method GetEnumerator Returns an OidEnumerator object that can be used to navigate the OidCollection object.
Public method GetHashCode Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method GetType Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
Protected method MemberwiseClone Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method ToString Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.)

  Name Description
Public Extension Method AsParallel Enables parallelization of a query. (Defined by ParallelEnumerable.)
Public Extension Method AsQueryable Converts an IEnumerable to an IQueryable. (Defined by Queryable.)
Public Extension Method Cast<TResult> Casts the elements of an IEnumerable to the specified type. (Defined by Enumerable.)
Public Extension Method OfType<TResult> Filters the elements of an IEnumerable based on a specified type. (Defined by Enumerable.)

  Name Description
Explicit interface implemetation Private method ICollection.CopyTo Copies the OidCollection object into an array.
Explicit interface implemetation Private method IEnumerable.GetEnumerator Returns an OidEnumerator object that can be used to navigate the OidCollection object.

This class implements the ICollection interface.

The following code example shows how to use the OidCollection class.


using System;
using System.Security.Cryptography;
public class OidSample
{
	public static void Main()
	{
		// Assign values to strings.
		string Value1 = "1.2.840.113549.1.1.1";
		string Name1 = "3DES";
		string Value2 = "1.3.6.1.4.1.311.20.2";
		string InvalidName = "This name is not a valid name";
		string InvalidValue = "1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1";

		// Create new Oid objects using the specified values.
		// Note that the corresponding Value or Friendly Name property is automatically added to the object.
		Oid o1 = new Oid(Value1);
		Oid o2 = new Oid(Name1);

		// Create a new Oid object using the specified Value and Friendly Name properties.
		// Note that the two are not compared to determine if the Value is associated 
		//  with the Friendly Name.
		Oid o3 = new Oid(Value2, InvalidName);

		//Create a new Oid object using the specified Value. Note that if the value
		//  is invalid or not known, no value is assigned to the Friendly Name property.
		Oid o4 = new Oid(InvalidValue);

		//Write out the property information of the Oid objects.
		Console.WriteLine("Oid1: Automatically assigned Friendly Name: {0}, {1}", o1.FriendlyName, o1.Value);
		Console.WriteLine("Oid2: Automatically assigned Value: {0}, {1}", o2.FriendlyName, o2.Value);
		Console.WriteLine("Oid3: Name and Value not compared: {0}, {1}", o3.FriendlyName, o3.Value);
		Console.WriteLine("Oid4: Invalid Value used: {0}, {1} {2}", o4.FriendlyName, o4.Value, Environment.NewLine);

		//Create an Oid collection and add several Oid objects.
		OidCollection oc = new OidCollection();
		oc.Add(o1);
		oc.Add(o2);
		oc.Add(o3);
		Console.WriteLine("Number of Oids in the collection: {0}", oc.Count);
		Console.WriteLine("Is synchronized: {0} {1}", oc.IsSynchronized, Environment.NewLine);

		//Create an enumerator for moving through the collection.
		OidEnumerator oe = oc.GetEnumerator();
		//You must execute a MoveNext() to get to the first item in the collection.
		oe.MoveNext();
		// Write out Oids in the collection.
		Console.WriteLine("First Oid in collection: {0},{1}", oe.Current.FriendlyName,oe.Current.Value);
		oe.MoveNext();
		Console.WriteLine("Second Oid in collection: {0},{1}", oe.Current.FriendlyName, oe.Current.Value);
		//Return index in the collection to the beginning.
		oe.Reset();
	}
}
