Initializes a new instance of the CngProvider class.

public:
 CngProvider(System::String ^ provider);

public CngProvider (string provider);

new System.Security.Cryptography.CngProvider : string -> System.Security.Cryptography.CngProvider

Public Sub New (provider As String)

Parameters

provider: String

The name of the key storage provider (KSP) to initialize.

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException

The provider parameter is null.

ArgumentException

The provider parameter length is 0 (zero).

Remarks

Instances of the CngProvider class internally maintain the provider name specified by the provider parameter.

The primary purpose of this constructor is to provide a method for creating CngProvider objects for KSPs that are not represented by the static properties of the CngProvider class. This capacity enables future .NET Framework releases, service packs, and third-party developers to add new providers, which can be accessed just like the providers that are currently available.
