X509SelectionFlag Enumeration
Specifies the type of selection requested using the X509Certificate2UI.SelectFromCollection method.
Namespace: System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates
Assembly: System.Security (in System.Security.dll)
This flag represents either a single or multiple certificate selection using the X509Certificate2UI.SelectFromCollection method.
The following code example demonstrates how to use the selection flag with the X509Certificate2UI.SelectFromCollection method. This code example is part of a larger example provided for the X509Store class. The larger example opens the current user's personal certificate store, allows the user to select a certificate, then writes certificate and certificate chain information to the console. The output depends on the certificate the user selects.
//Create new X509 store from local certificate store. X509Store store = new X509Store("MY", StoreLocation.CurrentUser); store.Open(OpenFlags.OpenExistingOnly | OpenFlags.ReadWrite); //Output store information. Console.WriteLine ("Store Information"); Console.WriteLine ("Number of certificates in the store: {0}", store.Certificates.Count); Console.WriteLine ("Store location: {0}", store.Location); Console.WriteLine ("Store name: {0} {1}", store.Name, Environment.NewLine); //Put certificates from the store into a collection so user can select one. X509Certificate2Collection fcollection = (X509Certificate2Collection)store.Certificates; X509Certificate2Collection collection = X509Certificate2UI.SelectFromCollection(fcollection, "Select an X509 Certificate", "Choose a certificate to examine.", X509SelectionFlag.SingleSelection); X509Certificate2 certificate = collection[0]; X509Certificate2UI.DisplayCertificate(certificate);
