Examples
The following code shows how to override the CanValidateToken property to indicate that a custom handler can validate tokens. The code is taken from the Custom Token sample. This sample provides custom classes that enable processing of Simple Web Tokens (SWT). For information about this sample and other samples available for WIF and where to download them, see WIF Code Sample Index.
/// <summary>

/// <value>True if this handler can validate the token of type <see cref="SimpleWebToken"/>.</value>
public override bool CanValidateToken
{
get
{
return true;
}
}
Remarks
To implement validation in a derived class, override this property to return true and override the ValidateToken method to implement the validation logic.
