X509Extension Constructor
.NET Framework 4.5
Initializes a new instance of the X509Extension class.
Namespace: System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates
Assembly: System (in System.dll)
This constructor creates an empty X509Extension object, unlike the other constructors for this class that use certificate information from either a byte array, a pointer or a certificate file to create the object.
The following code example demonstrates using the X509Extension class.
using System; using System.Security.Cryptography; using System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates; public class CertSelect { public static void Main() { try { X509Store store = new X509Store("MY", StoreLocation.CurrentUser); store.Open(OpenFlags.ReadOnly | OpenFlags.OpenExistingOnly); X509Certificate2Collection collection = (X509Certificate2Collection)store.Certificates; for (int i = 0; i < collection.Count; i++) { foreach (X509Extension extension in collection[i].Extensions) { Console.WriteLine(extension.Oid.FriendlyName + "(" + extension.Oid.Value + ")"); if (extension.Oid.FriendlyName == "Key Usage") { X509KeyUsageExtension ext = (X509KeyUsageExtension)extension; Console.WriteLine(ext.KeyUsages); } if (extension.Oid.FriendlyName == "Basic Constraints") { X509BasicConstraintsExtension ext = (X509BasicConstraintsExtension)extension; Console.WriteLine(ext.CertificateAuthority); Console.WriteLine(ext.HasPathLengthConstraint); Console.WriteLine(ext.PathLengthConstraint); } if (extension.Oid.FriendlyName == "Subject Key Identifier") { X509SubjectKeyIdentifierExtension ext = (X509SubjectKeyIdentifierExtension)extension; Console.WriteLine(ext.SubjectKeyIdentifier); } if (extension.Oid.FriendlyName == "Enhanced Key Usage") { X509EnhancedKeyUsageExtension ext = (X509EnhancedKeyUsageExtension)extension; OidCollection oids = ext.EnhancedKeyUsages; foreach (Oid oid in oids) { Console.WriteLine(oid.FriendlyName + "(" + oid.Value + ")"); } } } } store.Close(); } catch (CryptographicException) { Console.WriteLine("Information could not be written out for this certificate."); } } }
