Definition

Namespace:

System.Net

Assembly:

System.Net.Requests.dll

public:
 property cli::array <System::String ^> ^ ProtectionRealm { cli::array <System::String ^> ^ get(); void set(cli::array <System::String ^> ^ value); };

public string[]? ProtectionRealm { get; set; }

member this.ProtectionRealm : string[] with get, set

Public Property ProtectionRealm As String()

Property Value

String[]

An array of strings that contains URI prefixes.

Examples

The following code example gets or sets the prefix for URIs that can be authenticated with the Message property.

      String^ message;

        Console.WriteLine("The following exception was raised in Authenticate method:{0}", e.Message)

    End Try
End Function 'Authenticate

Remarks

The ProtectionRealm property contains a list of URI prefixes that the Message property can be used to authenticate. WebRequest and its descendants compare a URI to this list to determine if the Authorization is valid for a particular URI.
