Examples

The following example loads an X.509 certificate from a file, calls the ToString method, and displays the results to the console.

using namespace System;
using namespace System::Security::Cryptography::X509Certificates;
int main()
{
   
   // The path to the certificate.
   String^ Certificate = L"Certificate.cer";
   
   // Load the certificate into an X509Certificate object.
   X509Certificate^ cert = gcnew X509Certificate( Certificate );
   
   // Get the value.
   String^ resultsTrue = cert->ToString( true );
   
   // Display the value to the console.
   Console::WriteLine( resultsTrue );
   
   // Get the value.
   String^ resultsFalse = cert->ToString( false );
   
   // Display the value to the console.
   Console::WriteLine( resultsFalse );
}
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 = new X509Certificate(Certificate);

        // Get the value.
        string resultsTrue = cert.ToString(true);

        // Display the value to the console.
        Console.WriteLine(resultsTrue);

        // Get the value.
        string resultsFalse = cert.ToString(false);

        // Display the value to the console.
        Console.WriteLine(resultsFalse);
    }
}
Imports System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates

Module X509

    Sub Main()

        ' The path to the certificate.
        Dim Certificate As String = "Certificate.cer"

        ' Load the certificate into an X509Certificate object.
        Dim cert As New X509Certificate(Certificate)

        ' Get the value.
        Dim resultsTrue As String = cert.ToString(True)

        ' Display the value to the console.
        Console.WriteLine(resultsTrue)

        ' Get the value.
        Dim resultsFalse As String = cert.ToString(False)

        ' Display the value to the console.
        Console.WriteLine(resultsFalse)

    End Sub
End Module

Remarks

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

For most scenarios, you should use the X509Certificate2 class instead.

Important

Starting with the .NET Framework 4.6, this type implements the IDisposable interface. When you have finished using the type, you should dispose of it either directly or indirectly. To dispose of the type directly, call its Dispose method in a try/catch block. To dispose of it indirectly, use a language construct such as using (in C#) or Using (in Visual Basic). For more information, see the "Using an Object that Implements IDisposable" section in the IDisposable interface topic.

For apps that target the .NET Framework 4.5.2 and earlier versions, the X509Certificate class does not implement the IDisposable interface and therefore does not have a Dispose method.
