| Member name | Description | |

| SingleSelection | A single selection. The UI allows the user to select one X.509 certificate. |
This flag represents either a single or multiple certificate selection using the X509Certificate2UI::SelectFromCollection method.
The following code example demonstrates how to use the selection flag with the X509Certificate2UI::SelectFromCollection method. This code example is part of a larger example provided for the X509Store class. The larger example opens the current user's personal certificate store, allows the user to select a certificate, then writes certificate and certificate chain information to the console. The output depends on the certificate the user selects.
//Create new X509 store from local certificate store. X509Store ^ store = gcnew X509Store( "MY",StoreLocation::CurrentUser ); store->Open( static_cast<OpenFlags>(OpenFlags::OpenExistingOnly | OpenFlags::ReadWrite) ); //Output store information. Console::WriteLine( "Store Information" ); Console::WriteLine( "Number of certificates in the store: {0}", store->Certificates->Count ); Console::WriteLine( "Store location: {0}", store->Location ); Console::WriteLine( "Store name: {0} {1}", store->Name, Environment::NewLine ); //Put certificates from the store into a collection so user can select one. X509Certificate2Collection ^ fcollection = dynamic_cast<X509Certificate2Collection^>(store->Certificates); X509Certificate2Collection ^ collection = X509Certificate2UI::SelectFromCollection(fcollection, "Select an X509 Certificate","Choose a certificate to examine.",X509SelectionFlag::SingleSelection); X509Certificate2 ^ certificate = collection[ 0 ]; X509Certificate2UI::DisplayCertificate(certificate);
