The version of WIF addressed by this topic, WIF 3.5, is deprecated and should only be used when developing against the .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 or the .NET Framework 4. For more information about WIF in the .NET Framework 4.5, also known as WIF 4.5, see the Windows Identity Foundation documentation in the .NET Framework 4.5 Development Guide.]

Remarks

These identifiers may be used in the Format attribute of the NameID, NameIDPolicy, or Issuer elements to refer to common formats for the content of the elements and the associated processing rules, if any, [Saml2Core, 8.3]. The Issuer and NameID elements are represented by the Saml2NameIdentifier class and the Format attribute is represented by the Format property. The identifiers are constants of type Uri.

For more information about the constants defined in this class, see the SAML V2.0 Core specification. You can find links to this specification and other WS-* specifications relevant to WIF in the Windows Identity Foundation SDK topic.
