Destructor.

Frees all resources owned by the object, prior to its destruction.

Gets the number of 'attribute type and value' objects contained by this Distinguished Name object.

Gets the decoded value for the common or organisation name.

Gets a reference to specific 'attribute type and value' object as identified by the specified index.

Encodes a DN into an ASN.1 object tree.

See note in the description of EncodeASN1LC for the explanation of the resulting encoding tree format.

Encodes a DN into an ASN.1 object tree.

         SEQUENCE-OF
             SET-OF
                 SEQUENCE-OF
                     OID
                     value (usually OCTET STRING)
             ...

A SEQUENCE-OF object with a changed tag is used instead of a SET-OF object. This should be all right as long as it contains only one child, because otherwise child order in a SET-OF becomes important.

This function does not introduce an additional dependency on ASN1 library because X500 library already depends on it -- the attribute type/value class stores and manipulated ASN.1 encodings as its values.

Compares the specified Distinguished Name object with this Distinguished Name object.

CX520AttributeTypeAndValue::ExactMatchL()

Externalises an object of this class to a write stream.

The presence of this function means that the standard templated operator<<() can be used to externalise objects of this class.

Gets the decoded value associated with the specified field/attribute name, from the Distinguished Name.

Tests whether all 'attribute type and value' objects contained in the specified Distinguished Name object are also contained within this Distinguished Name object.

This function checks if the elements of iElements are a superset of the fields in aName.

Tests whether this Distinguished Name object contains the specified 'attribute type and value' object.

This function compares each of the elements in iElements with aElement. The comparison is made by the CX520AttributeTypeAndValue::ExactMatchL() function.

Creates a new Distinguished Name object from the specified buffer containing the encoded binary representation, starting at the specified offset.

Creates a new Distinguished Name object from the specified buffer containing the encoded binary representation.

Initialises the object from its encoded binary form into an internal representation.

Creates a new Distinguished Name object from the specified read stream.

Construction is from a stream.

Creates a new Distinguished Name object from the specified array of 'attribute type and value' objects.

The elements of the specified array are copied into this object.

Creates a new Distinguished Name object from an existing object.

This is equivalent to a copy constructor.

Creates a new Distinguished Name object from the specified buffer containing the encoded binary representation, starting at the specified offset, and puts a pointer to it onto the cleanup stack.

Creates a new Distinguished Name object from the specified buffer containing the encoded binary representation, and puts a pointer to it onto the cleanup stack.

Initialises the object from its encoded binary form into an internal representation.

Creates a new Distinguished Name object from the specified read stream, and puts a pointer to it onto the cleanup stack.

Creates a new Distinguished Name object from the specified array of 'attribute type and value' objects, and puts a pointer to it onto the cleanup stack.

The elements of the specified array are copied into this object.

Creates a new Distinguished Name object from an existing object, and puts a pointer to it onto the cleanup stack.

This is equivalent to a copy constructor.
