MembershipSection.HashAlgorithmType Property

Definition

Namespace:

System.Web.Configuration

Assembly:

System.Web.dll

Gets or sets the type of encryption that is used for sensitive membership information.

public:
 property System::String ^ HashAlgorithmType { System::String ^ get(); void set(System::String ^ value); };

[System.Configuration.ConfigurationProperty("hashAlgorithmType", DefaultValue="")]
public string HashAlgorithmType { get; set; }

[<System.Configuration.ConfigurationProperty("hashAlgorithmType", DefaultValue="")>]
member this.HashAlgorithmType : string with get, set

Public Property HashAlgorithmType As String

Property Value

String

The type of encryption used to encrypt sensitive membership information.

Attributes

ConfigurationPropertyAttribute

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to use the HashAlgorithmType property. This code example is part of a larger example provided for the MembershipSection class.

// Display HashAlgorithmType value.
Console.WriteLine("HashAlgorithmType: {0}", 
  configSection.HashAlgorithmType);

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

Remarks

At run time, the membership system binds to the appropriate hash algorithm type, and then uses this type when encrypting membership information. If the HashAlgorithmType property is not set, the membership system defaults to the Validation property within the MachineKeySection class.
