Examples

The following code example shows how to use the AsnEncodedDataCollection class.

C#

using System;
using System.Security.Cryptography;
using System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates;

class AsnEncodedDataSample
{
    static void Main()
    {		
        //The following example demonstrates the usage the AsnEncodedData classes.
        // Asn encoded data is read from the extensions of an X509 certificate.
        try
        {
            // Open the certificate store.
            X509Store store = new X509Store("MY", StoreLocation.CurrentUser);
            store.Open(OpenFlags.ReadOnly | OpenFlags.OpenExistingOnly);
            X509Certificate2Collection collection = (X509Certificate2Collection)store.Certificates;
            X509Certificate2Collection fcollection = (X509Certificate2Collection)collection.Find(X509FindType.FindByTimeValid, DateTime.Now, false);
            // Select one or more certificates to display extensions information.
            X509Certificate2Collection scollection = X509Certificate2UI.SelectFromCollection(fcollection, "Certificate Select", "Select certificates from the following list to get extension information on that certificate", X509SelectionFlag.MultiSelection);

            // Create a new AsnEncodedDataCollection object.
            AsnEncodedDataCollection asncoll = new AsnEncodedDataCollection();
            for (int i = 0; i < scollection.Count; i++)

                foreach (X509Extension extension in scollection[i].Extensions)
                {
                    // Create an AsnEncodedData object using the extensions information.

                    Console.WriteLine(asndata.Format(true));
                    Console.WriteLine(Environment.NewLine);
                    // Add the AsnEncodedData object to the AsnEncodedDataCollection object.
                    asncoll.Add(asndata);
                }

            Console.WriteLine("Number of AsnEncodedData items in the collection: {0} {1}", asncoll.Count, Environment.NewLine);
            Console.ResetColor();

            store.Close();
            //Create an enumerator for moving through the collection.
            AsnEncodedDataEnumerator asne = asncoll.GetEnumerator();
            //You must execute a MoveNext() to get to the first item in the collection.
            asne.MoveNext();
            // Write out AsnEncodedData in the collection.

            Console.ResetColor();

            asne.MoveNext();
            Console.ForegroundColor = ConsoleColor.DarkBlue;
            Console.WriteLine("Second AsnEncodedData in the collection: {0}", asne.Current.Format(true));
            Console.ResetColor();
            //Return index in the collection to the beginning.
            asne.Reset();
        }
        catch (CryptographicException)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Information could not be written out for this certificate.");
