AsnEncodedDataEnumerator Class

Note: This class is new in the .NET Framework version 2.0.

Provides the ability to navigate through an AsnEncodedDataCollection object. This class cannot be inherited.

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

'Declaration
Public NotInheritable Class AsnEncodedDataEnumerator
	Implements IEnumerator
'Usage
Dim instance As AsnEncodedDataEnumerator

public final class AsnEncodedDataEnumerator implements IEnumerator
public final class AsnEncodedDataEnumerator implements IEnumerator

This class implements the IEnumerator interface.

The following code example shows how to use the AsnEncodedDataEnumerator class.
