Examples
The following example uses the GetKeyAlgorithm method to get a certificate's key algorithm in string format and displays it to the console.
Imports System
Imports System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates
Public Class X509
Public Shared Sub Main()
' The path to the certificate.
Dim Certificate As String = "Certificate.cer"
' Load the certificate into an X509Certificate object.
Dim cert As X509Certificate = X509Certificate.CreateFromCertFile(Certificate)
' Get the value.
Dim results As String = cert.GetKeyAlgorithm()
' Display the value to the console.
Console.WriteLine(results)
End Sub
End Class
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.GetKeyAlgorithm();
// Display the value to the console.
Console.WriteLine(results);
}
}
using namespace System;

// Load the certificate into an X509Certificate object.
X509Certificate^ cert = X509Certificate::CreateFromCertFile( Certificate );
// Get the value.

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