GetValue

Syntax

public byte[] GetValue(string sName)

Parameters

• sName – The name associated with the binary object to be retrieved.

Returns

GetValue returns a binary data value, associated with the specified name, from the vault. An exception is thrown if the vault is locked when this method is called.

Examples

• Get a Binary Value – Unlocks the vault and retrieves a binary value associated with the name "testValue" in the vault. The finally clause in the try/catch block ensure that the vault ends in a secure state even if an exception occurs.

  try
  {
     vault.Unlock("password", "salt");
     byte[] retrievedvalue = vault.GetValue("testValue");
  }
  catch (DataVaultException e)
  {
     Console.WriteLine("Exception: " + e.ToString());
  }
  finally
  {
     vault.Lock();
  }
