Developing Secure Applications with Visual Basic

Listing CSPs and CSP Types

Now that you've looked at some of the basic functions that are necessary for managing the CSPs and key containers, you can get your hands dirty with some actual code. You'll build a simple application that displays the list of CSPs that are available on a computer, along with the list of CSP types.

Designing the Interface

For the user interface, you need two buttons to trigger the two lists, along with a third button to close the application. You also need a label control in which to display the lists of CSPs and types.
