Public ReadOnly Property Key As AsymmetricAlgorithm
An AsymmetricAlgorithm object representing the public key.
- Attributes
The key algorithm is not supported.
The following code example opens the current user certificate store, selects only active certificates, and then allows the user to select one or more certificates. The example then writes certificate information to the console.

This property returns the public key. Both RSA and DSA keys are supported. Call this property to obtain a certificate's public key. Repeated calls to this property will return the same key.
