System.Security.Principal.IdentityReference

IdentityReference

public abstract class IdentityReference

Represents an identity and is the base class for the NTAccount and SecurityIdentifier classes. This class does not provide a public constructor, and therefore cannot be inherited.

public abstract string Value { get; }

Gets the string value of the identity represented by the IdentityReference object.

public static bool op_Equality(IdentityReference left, IdentityReference right)

Compares two IdentityReference objects to determine whether they are equal. They are considered equal if they have the same canonical name representation as the one returned by the Value property or if they are both null.

public static bool op_Inequality(IdentityReference left, IdentityReference right)

Compares two IdentityReference objects to determine whether they are not equal. They are considered not equal if they have different canonical name representations than the one returned by the Value property or if one of the objects is null and the other is not.

public abstract bool Equals(object o)

Returns a value that indicates whether the specified object equals this instance of the IdentityReference class.

public abstract int GetHashCode()

Serves as a hash function for IdentityReference. GetHashCode is suitable for use in hashing algorithms and data structures like a hash table.

public abstract bool IsValidTargetType(Type targetType)

Returns a value that indicates whether the specified type is a valid translation type for the IdentityReference class.

public abstract string ToString()

Returns the string representation of the identity represented by the IdentityReference object.

public abstract IdentityReference Translate(Type targetType)

Translates the account name represented by the IdentityReference object into another IdentityReference-derived type.
