ClaimSet Class

Represents the collection of claims that are associated with an entity.

Namespace:  System.IdentityModel.Claims
Assembly:  System.IdentityModel (in System.IdentityModel.dll)

'Declaration
<DataContractAttribute(Namespace := "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/05/identity")> _
Public MustInherit Class ClaimSet _
	Implements IEnumerable(Of Claim), IEnumerable
'Usage
Dim instance As ClaimSet

After the ClaimSet class has been created, it cannot be changed.

Examining the content of a ClaimSet for particular types of claims is a common task when using claim-based authorization. To examine a ClaimSet for the presence of particular claims, use the FindClaims method. The method provides better performance than iterating directly over the ClaimSet.

        ' Extract the action URI from the OperationContext. Match this against the claims

                    Console.WriteLine("resource: {0}", c.Resource.ToString())

                    ' If the claim resource matches the action URI then return true to allow access
