IX509PrivateKey::get_ReaderName method (certenroll.h)
The ReaderName property specifies or retrieves the name of a smart card reader.
This property is read/write.
Syntax
HRESULT get_ReaderName(
BSTR *pValue
);
Parameters
pValue
Return value
None
Remarks
If you set this property before opening a key, the reader name is concatenated to the name of the key container. The format is \.\Reader_Name\Container_Name. Prepending the reader name to the key container name enables the name to be disambiguated in subsequent calls to a cryptographic provider. The private key is typically stored in the smart card key container when a smart card is used.
