Examples

The following example loads an X.509 certificate file into an X509Certificate object, exports the certificate as a byte array, and then imports the byte array into another X509Certificate object.

using namespace System;
using namespace System::Security::Cryptography::X509Certificates;

   // The path to the certificate.
   String^ Certificate = L"test.pfx";

Remarks

ASN.1 DER is the only certificate format supported by this class.

If you create an X509Certificate certificate by specifying a PKCS7 signed file store for data, the X509Certificate is created for the certificate that signed the store rather than for any of the certificates within the store.

X509Certificate(IntPtr)

Source:

Source:

Initializes a new instance of the X509Certificate class using a handle to an unmanaged PCCERT_CONTEXT structure.

[<System.Security.SecurityCritical>]
new System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Certificate : nativeint -> System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Certificate
Public Sub New (handle As IntPtr)

Parameters

handle
IntPtr

nativeint

A handle to an unmanaged PCCERT_CONTEXT structure.

Attributes

Exceptions

An error with the certificate occurs. For example:

  • The certificate file does not exist.

  • The certificate is invalid.

  • The certificate's password is incorrect.

The handle parameter does not represent a valid PCCERT_CONTEXT structure.

Remarks

This constructor creates a new X509Certificate object using a handle for the Microsoft Cryptographic API certificate context, PCCERT_CONTEXT.

Important

This constructor creates a copy of the certificate context. Do not assume that the context structure you passed to the constructor is valid; it may have been released. You can get a copy of the current PCCERT_CONTEXT structure from the Handle property, but it is valid only during the lifetime of the X509Certificate object.

Never hard code a password within your source code. Hard-coded passwords can be retrieved from an assembly using the Ildasm.exe (IL Disassembler), a hex editor, or by simply opening the assembly in a text editor such as Notepad.exe.

If you create an X509Certificate certificate by specifying a PKCS7 signed file store for fileName, the X509Certificate is created for the certificate that signed the store rather than for any of the certificates within the store.
