![]() | X509CertificateValidator | Initializes a new instance of the X509CertificateValidator class. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() ![]() | ChainTrust | Gets a validator that validates the X.509 certificate using a trust chain. |
![]() ![]() | None | Gets a validator that performs no validation on an X.509 certificate. As a result, an X.509 certificate is always considered to be valid. |
![]() ![]() | PeerOrChainTrust | Gets a validator that verifies the certificate is in the TrustedPeople certificate store or by building a certificate trust chain. The certificate is trusted if it passes either verification method. |

| Name | Description | |

![]() ![]() | CreatePeerOrChainTrustValidator | Gets a validator that verifies the certificate is in the TrustedPeople certificate store or by specifying the context and chain policy that is used to build a certificate trust chain. The certificate is trusted if it passes either verification method. |
![]() | Equals(Object) | Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | Finalize | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | GetHashCode | Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.) |
