Microsoft.IdentityModel.Clients.ActiveDirectory.UserCredential does not take 2 parameters?

Question

I'm using ADAL in my code. One thing I want to use is to use different credentials, so I can authorize different users against Azure AD in the console program.

Microsoft.IdentityModel.Clients.ActiveDirectory.UserCredential cred = new Microsoft.IdentityModel.Clients.ActiveDirectory.UserCredential("username", "password");

This is the line I use to create the user credential. I use nuget get the latest ADAL. However, this line shows error:

The best overloaded method match for 'Microsoft.IdentityModel.Clients.ActiveDirectory.UserCredential.UserCredential(string, Microsoft.IdentityModel.Clients.ActiveDirectory.UserAuthType)' has some invalid arguments

However, according to https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.identitymodel.clients.activedirectory.usercredential.aspx

UserCredential(String, String)
Constructor to create credential with client id and secret 

Anyone knows what I did wrong?

Thanks

In ADAL .NET v3 UserCredential Constructor is no longer supports the second parameter (password), instead you need to use UserPasswordCredential class

Example

var credentials = new UserPasswordCredential(userName, password);
var context = new AuthenticationContext(authorityUri);
var authResult = context.AcquireTokenAsync(resource, clientId, credentials).Result;
