A CertificateReceivedEventArgs object is passed as a parameter to all events that report the receipt of a certificate from the remote server. Use this object to determine if the received certificate is valid. If any portion of the certificate is determined to be invalid (for example, if Certificate.ExpirationDate has passed), the CertificateEventArgs.Accept property will be false, indicating that the certificate will not be accepted. Set Certificate.Accept to true to override this.
If your code causes an exception, it would be returned to the handling event without you seeing it. To preclude such a condition, you should ALWAYS use a try/ catch block around your event-handling code.
The following example demonstrates creating a simple secure client.
[Visual Basic]
Private Sub CertificateReceived(ByVal sender As Object, ByRef e As CertificateReceivedEventArgs) Handles Tcp1.CertificateReceived
Dim msg As String = "The certificate was invalid for the following reason(s)" + vbCrLf
' Check to see if the certificate is from a trusted root.
If Not e.TrustedRoot Then
msg += "This certificate is not from a trusted root" + vbCrLf
End If
' Check to see if the certificate has a valid date.
If Not e.ValidDate Then
msg += "This certificate does not have a valid date" + vbCrLf
End If
' Check to see if the certificate has a valid name.
If Not e.ValidName Then
msg += "This certificate does not have a valid name" + vbCrLf
End If
If msg <> "" Then
msg += "Would you like to accept this certificate anyway?"
If MessageBox.Show(msg, "Invalid Cert Received", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo) = DialogResult.Yes Then
e.Accept = True
End If
End If
End Sub
[C#]
private void CertificateReceived(object sender, CertificateReceivedEventArgs e)
{
string msg = "The certificate was invalid for the following
reason(s)\n";
// Check to see if the certificate is from a trusted root.
if(!e.TrustedRoot)
msg+= "This certificate is not from a trusted root\n";
// Check to see if the certificate has a valid date.
if(!e.ValidDate)
msg+= "This certificate does not have a valid date\n";
// Check to see if the certificate has a valid name.
if(!e.ValidName)
msg+= "This certificate does not have a valid name\n";
if(!e.Accept)
{
msg += "Would you like to accept this certificate anyway?";
if(MessageBox.Show(msg, "Invalid Cert
Received", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo) == DialogResult.Yes)
e.Accept = true;
}
}
