The following example demonstrates how to set the Validation property by using code. This example is part of a larger example provided for the MachineKeySection class.

// Display Validation property.
Console.WriteLine("Validation: {0}",
  configSection.Validation);

' Display Validation value.
Console.WriteLine("Validation: {0}", configSection.Validation)

Remarks

The Validation property supports encryption algorithms that are defined by the MachineKeyValidation enumeration. This property is typically set declaratively in the decryption attribute of the machineKey element of the Web.config file. For more information, see the machineKey element.
