[Starting with the .NET Framework 4.5, Windows Identity Foundation (WIF) has been fully integrated into the .NET Framework. The version of WIF addressed by this topic, WIF 3.5, is deprecated and should only be used when developing against the .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 or the .NET Framework 4. For more information about WIF in the .NET Framework 4.5, also known as WIF 4.5, see the Windows Identity Foundation documentation in the .NET Framework 4.5 Development Guide.]

Property Value

The claim type to be used to determine the name of this identity. This is typically a URI.

Remarks

The Name property returns the name of the identity (subject). The claims-based model extends this property to use claims associated with the identity object to determine the name. The NameClaimType specifies the claim type that should be used to provide the name of the subject; for example, one of the constants specified by ClaimTypes.

Thread Safety

Any public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
