static member EncodeOID : string -> byte[]

Public Shared Function EncodeOID (str As String) As Byte()

Parameters

str

String

The OID to encode.

Returns

Byte[]

A byte array containing the encoded OID.

Attributes

ObsoleteAttribute UnsupportedOSPlatformAttribute

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException

The str parameter is null.

CryptographicUnexpectedOperationException

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to call the EncodeOID method to encode the specified object identifier. This code example is part of a larger example provided for the CryptoConfig class.

array<Byte>^encodedMessage = CryptoConfig::EncodeOID( sha1Oid );

// This example uses the SHA1 algorithm.
// Due to collision problems with SHA1, Microsoft recommends SHA256 or better.
byte[] encodedMessage = CryptoConfig.EncodeOID(sha1Oid);

' This example uses the SHA1 algorithm.
' Due to collision problems with SHA1, Microsoft recommends SHA256 or better.
Dim encodedMessage() As Byte = cryptoConfig.EncodeOID(sha1Oid)
