The following example uses the GetName method to return the name of a certificate's principal and displays it to the console.
using namespace System;
using namespace System::Security::Cryptography::X509Certificates;
int main()
{
// The path to the certificate.
String^ Certificate = "Certificate.cer";
// Load the certificate into an X509Certificate object.
X509Certificate^ cert = X509Certificate::CreateFromCertFile( Certificate );
// Get the value.
String^ results = cert->GetName();
// Display the value to the console.
Console::WriteLine( results );
}
using System;
using System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates;
public class X509
{
public static void Main()
{
// The path to the certificate.
string Certificate = "Certificate.cer";
// Load the certificate into an X509Certificate object.
X509Certificate cert = X509Certificate.CreateFromCertFile(Certificate);
// Get the value.
string results = cert.GetName();
// Display the value to the console.
Console.WriteLine(results);
