X500DistinguishedNameFlags Enumeration
.NET Framework 3.0
Specifies characteristics of the X.500 distinguished name.
Namespace: System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates
Assembly: System (in system.dll)
Assembly: System (in system.dll)
| Member name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| DoNotUsePlusSign | The distinguished name does not use the plus sign. | |
| DoNotUseQuotes | The distinguished name does not use quotation marks. | |
| ForceUTF8Encoding | The distinguished name uses UTF8 encoding. | |
| None | The distinguished name has no special characteristics. | |
| Reversed | The distinguished name is reversed. | |
| UseCommas | The distinguished name uses commas. | |
| UseNewLines | The distinguished name uses the new line character. | |
| UseSemicolons | The distinguished name uses semicolons. | |
| UseT61Encoding | The distinguished name uses T61 encoding. | |
| UseUTF8Encoding | The distinguished name uses UTF8 encoding. |
This enumeration is used with the X500DistinguishedNameFlags class to indicate special characters contained in the distinguished name.
Several values are mutually exclusive in this enumeration; use only one of these values to define the special characteristics of an X.500 distinguished name. For example, specify only one of the UseCommas, UseNewLines , and UseSemicolons values. You would also specify either UseT61Encoding or UseUTF8Encoding .
The following code example shows how to use the X500DistinguishedNameFlags enumeration.
