public OracleCredential( 
   string userId,
   SecureString password
)

Parameters

userId: Your Oracle user id.
password: Your Oracle password.

Remarks

Please note that additional security of the SecureString class is only available on Windows platform. Besides, there is no point in using the SecureString class if you use a usual System.String class to store the password anywhere in between. For best security, you need either use a special control to obtain the passsword as a SecureString from the start, like System.Windows.Controls.PasswordBox, or construct a SecureString object from a character-at-a-time unmanaged source.

Requirements

Target Platforms: Windows 7, Windows Vista SP1 or later, Windows XP SP3, Windows Server 2008 (Server Core not supported), Windows Server 2008 R2 (Server Core supported with SP1 or later), Windows Server 2003 SP2
