Public Overrides Property Credentials As ICredentials
public override ICredentials Credentials { get; set; }
public: virtual property ICredentials^ Credentials { ICredentials^ get () override; void set (ICredentials^ value) override; }
abstract Credentials : ICredentials with get, set override Credentials : ICredentials with get, set
The value specified for a set operation is nullNothingnullptra null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).
An ICredentials of a type other than NetworkCredential was specified for a set operation.
A new value was specified for this property for a request that is already in progress.
You are not required to specify credentials when connecting using anonymous logon. You must set the Credentials property by using a credential of type NetworkCredential; this ensures that the user name and password can be read and sent to the server.
Credentials information is not encrypted when transmitted to the server unless the EnableSsl property is set to true.
Changing Credentials after calling the GetRequestStream, BeginGetRequestStream, GetResponse, or BeginGetResponse method causes an InvalidOperationException exception.
The following code example retrieves the value of this property and uses it to display the user name.
Console.WriteLine("User {0} {1}", request.Credentials.GetCredential(request.RequestUri, "basic").UserName, request.RequestUri)
Console.WriteLine("User {0} {1}", request.Credentials.GetCredential(request.RequestUri,"basic").UserName, request.RequestUri );
Console::WriteLine( "User {0} {1}", request->Credentials->GetCredential( request->RequestUri, "basic" )->UserName, request->RequestUri );
