Examples

The following code example creates an RSACryptoServiceProvider object and persists the key to a key container.

using namespace System;
using namespace System::Security::Cryptography;

{
   try
   {
      
      // Create a new instance of CspParameters.  Pass
      // 13 to specify a DSA container or 1 to specify
      // an RSA container.  The default is 1.
      CspParameters^ cspParams = gcnew CspParameters;
      
      // Specify the container name using the passed variable.
      cspParams->KeyContainerName = ContainerName;
      
      //Create a new instance of RSACryptoServiceProvider to generate
      //a new key pair.  Pass the CspParameters class to persist the 
      //key in the container.  The PersistKeyInCsp property is true by 
      //default, allowing the key to be persisted. 
      RSACryptoServiceProvider^ RSAalg = gcnew RSACryptoServiceProvider( cspParams );
      
      //Indicate that the key was persisted.
      Console::WriteLine( "The RSA key was persisted in the container, \"{0}\".", ContainerName );
   }
   catch ( CryptographicException^ e )

      Console::WriteLine( e->Message );
   }

Remarks

Use this property to persist a key in a key container.

The PersistKeyInCsp property is automatically set to true when you specify a key container name in the KeyContainerName field of a CspParameters object and use it to initialize an RSACryptoServiceProvider object by calling one of the constructors with a parameters parameter.

The PersistKeyInCsp property has no effect if the RSACryptoServiceProvider object is created with a null key container name.
