If you're working with .NET, the official Infisical .NET SDK package is the easiest way to fetch and work with secrets for your application. 

## Installation

```bash
dotnet add package Infisical.Sdk
```

## Getting Started (.NET)

```csharp
namespace Example;

using Infisical.Sdk;
using Infisical.Sdk.Model;

public class Program {
  public static void Main(string[] args) {

    var settings = new InfisicalSdkSettingsBuilder()
        .WithHostUri("http://localhost:8080") // Optional. Will default to https://app.infisical.com
        .Build();

    var infisicalClient = new InfisicalClient(settings);

    var _ = infisicalClient.Auth().UniversalAuth().LoginAsync("<machine-identity-universal-auth-client-id>", "<machine-identity-universal-auth-client-secret>").Result;

    var options = new ListSecretsOptions
    {
      SetSecretsAsEnvironmentVariables = true,
      EnvironmentSlug = "<your-env-slug>",
      SecretPath = "/",
      ProjectId = "<your-project-id>",
    };

    var secrets = infisicalClient.Secrets().ListAsync(options).Result;

    if (secrets == null)
    {
      throw new Exception("Failed to fetch secrets, returned null response");
    }

    foreach (var secret in secrets)
    {
      Console.WriteLine($"{secret.SecretKey}: {secret.SecretValue}");
    }
  }
}
```

## Getting Started (Visual Basic)
```vb
Imports Infisical.Sdk
Imports Infisical.Sdk.Model

Module Program
    Sub Main(args As String())
        Dim settings = New InfisicalSdkSettingsBuilder() _
            .WithHostUri("https://app.infisical.com") _
            .Build()
        
        Dim infisicalClient As New InfisicalClient(settings)

        Dim authResult = infisicalClient.Auth().UniversalAuth() _
          .LoginAsync("<machine-identity-universal-auth-client-id>", "machine-identity-universal-auth-client-secret").Result

        Dim options As New ListSecretsOptions With {
          .SetSecretsAsEnvironmentVariables = True,
          .EnvironmentSlug = "<your-env-slug>",
          .SecretPath = "/",
          .ProjectId = "<your-project-id>"
        }

        Dim secrets = infisicalClient.Secrets().ListAsync(options).Result

        For Each secret In secrets
            Console.WriteLine(secret.SecretKey)
            if Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable(secret.SecretKey) IsNot Nothing Then
                Console.WriteLine("{0} found on environment variables", secret.SecretKey)
            End If
        Next
        
    End Sub
End Module
```

## Core Methods

The SDK methods are organized into the following high-level categories:

1. `Auth()`: Handles authentication methods.
2. `Secrets()`: Manages CRUD operations for secrets.
3. `Pki()`: Programmatically interact with the Infisical PKI.
    * `Subscribers()`: Manage PKI Subscribers.

### `Auth()`

The `Auth()` component provides methods for authentication:

### Universal Auth

  "CLIENT_SECRET"
);
```


**Parameters:**

### `Pki().Subscribers()`

The `Pki().Subscribers()` sub-class is used to programmatically interact with the Infisical PKI product line. Currently only issuing new certificates and retrieving the latest certificate bundle from a subscriber is supported. More widespread support for the PKI product is coming to the .NET SDK in the near future.


#### Issue a new certificate

public async Task<SubscriberIssuedCertificate> IssueCertificateAsync(IssueCertificateOptions options);

throws InfisicalException
```

```cs

var options = new IssueCertificateOptions
{

  ProjectId = "<your-project-id>",
};

SubscriberIssuedCertificate newCertificate = await sdk.Pki().Subscribers().IssueCertificateAsync(options);
```

**Parameters:**
- `SubscriberName` (string): The name of the subscriber to create a certificate for.

**Returns:**
- `Task<SubscriberIssuedCertificate>`: The newly issued certificate along with it's credentials for the specified subscriber.

#### Retrieve latest certificate bundle

```cs
public async Task<CertificateBundle> RetrieveLatestCertificateBundleAsync(RetrieveLatestCertificateBundleOptions options)

throws InfisicalException
```

```cs
var options = new RetrieveLatestCertificateBundleOptions
{
  SubscriberName = "<subscriber-name>",
  ProjectId = "<your-project-id>",
};

CertificateBundle latestCertificate = await sdk.Pki().Subscribers().RetrieveLatestCertificateBundleAsync(options);
```

**Parameters:**
