Save locally SVN authentication credentials with SharpSVN

Question

I’m using SharpSVN.

I want to store the SVN credential in pc.

I have try to set credentials updating default credentials

using (SvnClient client = new SvnClient())
{
    client.Authentication.DefaultCredentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("user", "password");
    ...
}

but it doesn't save the data.

I have found that SharpSvn give a default GUI to input credentials. This GUI has a flag to store the data. Here the links where I found information:

Here the code to use it:

using (SvnClient client = new SvnClient())
{
    // Bind the SharpSvn UI to our client for SSL certificate and credentials
    SharpSvn.UI.SharpSvnUI.Bind(client, IWin32Window);
    ....
}

But it is make for Windows.Forms and I use WPF. Also, I couldn't use this default GUI.

Someone now how to do it?

Thanks!!

I found the answer!

For save credentials in the computer in use

using (SvnClient client = new SvnClient())
{
    //Save localy new Authentication credentials
    client.Authentication.UserNamePasswordHandlers
    += delegate(object obj, SharpSvn.Security.SvnUserNamePasswordEventArgs args)
    {
        args.UserName = "username";
        args.Password = "password";
        args.Save= true;
    };
}

Frequently I found the solution to add credentials in cache, but this will not store credentials in computer. This credentials are valid only for SvnClient life. I report the answer for completeness

using (SvnClient client = new SvnClient())
{
    // Clear a previous authentication
    client.Authentication.Clear(); 
    client.Authentication.DefaultCredentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("user", "password");
}

I found part of the answer here

And here:

http://sharpsvn.open.collab.net/ds/viewMessage.do?dsMessageId=140680&dsForumId=728

looking at method DialogUserNamePasswordHandler

http://sharpsvn.open.collab.net/svn/sharpsvn/trunk/src/SharpSvn.UI/SvnClientUIHandler.cs

For access use:

username: guest
password not needed

The .Authentication.Clear() unhooks the on disk credential cache. If you remobe the .Clear() the .Save=true will save the credentials as expected. — Bert Huijben, Jun 18 '13 at 22:41
