CspKeyContainerInfo Class
[ This article is for Windows Phone 8 developers. If you’re developing for Windows 10, see the latest documentation. ]
Provides additional information about a cryptographic key pair. This class cannot be inherited.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
The CspKeyContainerInfo type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | CspKeyContainerInfo | Initializes a new instance of the CspKeyContainerInfo class using the specified parameters. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | KeyContainerName | Gets a key container name. |
| KeyNumber | Gets a value that describes whether an asymmetric key was created as a signature key or an exchange key. |
| MachineKeyStore | Gets a value indicating whether a key is from a machine key set. |
| ProviderName | Gets the provider name of a key. |
| ProviderType | Gets the provider type of a key. |
| RandomlyGenerated | Gets a value indicating whether a key container was randomly generated by a managed cryptography class. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| Equals(Object) | Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
 | Finalize | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before the Object is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.) |
| GetHashCode | Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.) |
| GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
| MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
| ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
Use this class to obtain additional information about a key pair, such as the key container name or the key number.
In cases where a random key is generated by the RSACryptoServiceProvider, a key container will not be created until you call a method that uses the key. Some properties of the CspKeyContainerInfo class will throw a CryptographicException if a key container has not been created.
