Examples

The following code example displays the value of this property.

if ( sp->Certificate == nullptr )
   Console::WriteLine( "Certificate = (null)" );
else
   Console::WriteLine( "Certificate = {0}", sp->Certificate );

if ( sp->ClientCertificate == nullptr )
   Console::WriteLine( "Client Certificate = (null)" );
else
   Console::WriteLine( "Client Certificate = {0}", sp->ClientCertificate );

Console::WriteLine( "ProtocolVersion = {0}", sp->ProtocolVersion->ToString() );
Console::WriteLine( "SupportsPipelining = {0}", sp->SupportsPipelining );

if (sp.Certificate == null)
    Console.WriteLine("Certificate = (null)");
else
    Console.WriteLine("Certificate = " + sp.Certificate.ToString());

if (sp.ClientCertificate == null)
    Console.WriteLine("ClientCertificate = (null)");
else
    Console. WriteLine("ClientCertificate = " + sp.ClientCertificate.ToString());

Console.WriteLine("ProtocolVersion = " + sp.ProtocolVersion.ToString());
Console.WriteLine("SupportsPipelining = " + sp.SupportsPipelining);

If sp.Certificate Is Nothing Then
    Console.WriteLine("Certificate = (null)")
Else
    Console.WriteLine(("Certificate = " + sp.Certificate.ToString()))
End If

If sp.ClientCertificate Is Nothing Then
    Console.WriteLine("ClientCertificate = (null)")
Else
    Console.WriteLine(("ClientCertificate = " + sp.ClientCertificate.ToString()))
End If

Console.WriteLine("ProtocolVersion = " + sp.ProtocolVersion.ToString())
Console.WriteLine(("SupportsPipelining = " + sp.SupportsPipelining.ToString()))

Remarks

Caution

WebRequest, HttpWebRequest, ServicePoint, and WebClient are obsolete, and you shouldn't use them for new development. Use HttpClient instead.

Although a ServicePoint object can make multiple connections to an Internet resource, it can maintain only one certificate.

Note

In .NET Core and .NET 5+, the Certificate property always returns null. To access the server certificate, use ServerCertificateCustomValidationCallback.
