X509Extension Constructor (Oid^, array<Byte>^, Boolean)

 

Initializes a new instance of the X509Extension class.

Namespace:   System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates
Assembly:  System (in System.dll)

public:
X509Extension(
	Oid^ oid,
	array<unsigned char>^ rawData,
	bool critical
)

Parameters

oid
Type: System.Security.Cryptography::Oid^

The object identifier used to identify the extension.

rawData
Type: array<System::Byte>^

The encoded data used to create the extension.

critical
Type: System::Boolean

true if the extension is critical; otherwise false.

Exception Condition
ArgumentNullException

oid is null.

ArgumentException

oid is an empty string ("").

This constructor uses information from the oid parameter to provide an object identifier for the extension.

The following code example demonstrates using the X509Extension class.

#using <System.dll>
#using <system.security.dll>

using namespace System;
using namespace System::Security::Cryptography;
using namespace System::Security::Cryptography::X509Certificates;

      for ( int i = 0; i < collection->Count; i++ )
      {
         System::Collections::IEnumerator^ myEnum = collection[ i ]->Extensions->GetEnumerator();
         while ( myEnum->MoveNext() )
         {
            X509Extension^ extension = safe_cast<X509Extension^>(myEnum->Current);

               System::Collections::IEnumerator^ myEnum1 = oids->GetEnumerator();
               while ( myEnum1->MoveNext() )
               {
                  Oid^ oid = safe_cast<Oid^>(myEnum1->Current);
                  Console::WriteLine( L"{0}({1})", oid->FriendlyName, oid->Value );
               }
            }
         }

      }
      store->Close();
   }
   catch ( CryptographicException^ )
