ICredentials Interface
Visual Studio 2010
Provides the base authentication interface for retrieving credentials for Web client authentication.
Assembly: System (in System.dll)
The ICredentials type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() ![]() ![]() | GetCredential | Returns a NetworkCredential object that is associated with the specified URI, and authentication type. |
The ICredentials interface provides the GetCredential method to objects that supply network credentials to applications.
The following example illustrates how to use the ICredentials interface.
ref class CredentialList: public ICredentials { private: ref class CredentialInfo { public: Uri^ uriObj; String^ authenticationType; NetworkCredential^ networkCredentialObj; CredentialInfo( Uri^ uriObj, String^ authenticationType, NetworkCredential^ networkCredentialObj ) { this->uriObj = uriObj; this->authenticationType = authenticationType; this->networkCredentialObj = networkCredentialObj; } }; ArrayList^ arrayListObj; public: CredentialList() { arrayListObj = gcnew ArrayList; } void Add( Uri^ uriObj, String^ authenticationType, NetworkCredential^ credential ) { // Add a 'CredentialInfo' object into a list. arrayListObj->Add( gcnew CredentialInfo( uriObj,authenticationType,credential ) ); } // Remove the 'CredentialInfo' object from the list that matches to the given 'Uri' and 'AuthenticationType' void Remove( Uri^ uriObj, String^ authenticationType ) { for ( int index = 0; index < arrayListObj->Count; index++ ) { CredentialInfo^ credentialInfo = dynamic_cast<CredentialInfo^>(arrayListObj[ index ]); if ( uriObj->Equals( credentialInfo->uriObj ) && authenticationType->Equals( credentialInfo->authenticationType ) ) arrayListObj->RemoveAt( index ); } } virtual NetworkCredential^ GetCredential( Uri^ uriObj, String^ authenticationType ) { for ( int index = 0; index < arrayListObj->Count; index++ ) { CredentialInfo^ credentialInfoObj = dynamic_cast<CredentialInfo^>(arrayListObj[ index ]); if ( uriObj->Equals( credentialInfoObj->uriObj ) && authenticationType->Equals( credentialInfoObj->authenticationType ) ) return credentialInfoObj->networkCredentialObj; } return nullptr; } };
