Store.Export method

[The Export method is available for use in the operating systems specified in the Requirements section. Instead, use the X509Store Class in the System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates namespace.]

The Export method copies the contents of an open certificate store to an encoded string.

Syntax

Store.Export( _
  [ ByVal SaveAs ], _
  [ ByVal EncodingType ] _
)

Parameters

SaveAs [in, optional]

A value of the CAPICOM_STORE_SAVE_AS_TYPE enumeration that indicates the format for the export operation. The default value is CAPICOM_STORE_SAVE_AS_SERIALIZED. This parameter can be one of the following values.

Value	Meaning
CAPICOM_STORE_SAVE_AS_SERIALIZED	The store is saved in serialized format.
CAPICOM_STORE_SAVE_AS_PKCS7	The store is saved in PKCS #7 format.

 

EncodingType [in, optional]

A value of the CAPICOM_ENCODING_TYPE enumeration that indicates the encoding type of the exported store. The default value is CAPICOM_ENCODE_BASE64. This parameter can be one of the following values.

Value	Meaning
CAPICOM_ENCODE_ANY	This encoding type is used only when the input data has an unknown encoding type. If this value is used to specify the output's encoding type, CAPICOM_ENCODE_BASE64 will be used instead. Introduced in CAPICOM 2.0.
CAPICOM_ENCODE_BASE64	Data is saved as a base64-encoded string.
CAPICOM_ENCODE_BINARY	Data is saved as a pure binary sequence.
