IdentityReference Class
Visual Studio 2010
Represents an identity and is the base class for the NTAccount and SecurityIdentifier classes. This class does not provide a public constructor, and therefore cannot be inherited.
System.Object

System.Security.Principal.NTAccount
System.Security.Principal.SecurityIdentifier
System.Security.Principal.IdentityReference

Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
The IdentityReference type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | Equals | Returns a value that indicates whether the specified object equals this instance of the IdentityReference class. (Overrides Object.Equals(Object).) |
![]() | Finalize | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | GetHashCode | Serves as a hash function for IdentityReference. GetHashCode is suitable for use in hashing algorithms and data structures like a hash table. (Overrides Object.GetHashCode().) |
![]() | GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | IsValidTargetType | Returns a value that indicates whether the specified type is a valid translation type for the IdentityReference class. |
![]() | MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | ToString | Returns the string representation of the identity represented by the IdentityReference object. (Overrides Object.ToString().) |
![]() | Translate | Translates the account name represented by the IdentityReference object into another IdentityReference-derived type. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() ![]() | Equality | Compares two IdentityReference objects to determine whether they are equal. They are considered equal if they have the same canonical name representation as the one returned by the Value property or if they are both null. |
![]() ![]() | Inequality | Compares two IdentityReference objects to determine whether they are not equal. They are considered not equal if they have different canonical name representations than the one returned by the Value property or if one of the objects is null and the other is not. |
