	GetKeyAlgorithmParametersString	Returns the key algorithm parameters for the X.509v3 certificate.
	GetName	Obsolete. Returns the name of the principal to which the certificate was issued.
	GetPublicKey	Returns the public key for the X.509v3 certificate.
	GetPublicKeyString	Returns the public key for the X.509v3 certificate.
	GetRawCertData	Returns the raw data for the entire X.509v3 certificate.
	GetRawCertDataString	Returns the raw data for the entire X.509v3 certificate.
	GetSerialNumber	Returns the serial number of the X.509v3 certificate.
	GetSerialNumberString	Returns the serial number of the X.509v3 certificate.
	GetType	Gets the type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
	Import	Overloaded. Populates an X509Certificate object.
	MemberwiseClone	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
	Reset	Resets the state of the X509Certificate2 object.
	ToString	Overloaded. Returns a string representation of the current X509Certificate object.

Explicit Interface Implementations

	Name	Description
	ISerializable.GetObjectData	Gets serialization information with all the data needed to recreate an instance of the current X509Certificate object.
