X509Store Class
Visual Studio 2010
Represents an X.509 store, which is a physical store where certificates are persisted and managed. This class cannot be inherited.
Assembly: System (in System.dll)
The X509Store type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | X509Store() | Initializes a new instance of the X509Store class using the personal certificates of the current user store. |
![]() | X509Store(IntPtr) | Initializes a new instance of the X509Store class using an Intptr handle to an HCERTSTORE store. |
![]() | X509Store(StoreLocation) | Initializes a new instance of the X509Store class using the specified StoreLocation value. |
![]() | X509Store(StoreName) | Initializes a new instance of the X509Store class using the specified StoreName value. |
![]() | X509Store(String) | Initializes a new instance of the X509Store class using the specified store name. |
![]() | X509Store(StoreName, StoreLocation) | Initializes a new instance of the X509Store class using the specified StoreName and StoreLocation values. |
![]() | X509Store(String, StoreLocation) | Initializes a new instance of the X509Store class using a string that represents a value from the StoreName enumeration and a value from the StoreLocation enumeration. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | Certificates | Returns a collection of certificates located in an X.509 certificate store. |
![]() | Location | Gets the location of the X.509 certificate store. |
![]() | Name | Gets the name of the X.509 certificate store. |
![]() | StoreHandle | Gets an IntPtr handle to an HCERTSTORE store. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | Add | Adds a certificate to an X.509 certificate store. |
![]() | AddRange | Adds a collection of certificates to an X.509 certificate store. |
![]() | Close | Closes an X.509 certificate store. |
![]() | Equals(Object) | Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | Finalize | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | GetHashCode | Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | Open | Opens an X.509 certificate store or creates a new store, depending on OpenFlags flag settings. |
![]() | Remove | Removes a certificate from an X.509 certificate store. |
![]() | RemoveRange | Removes a range of certificates from an X.509 certificate store. |
![]() | ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
The following code example opens an X.509 certificate store, adds and deletes certificates, and then closes the store. It assumes that you have three certificates to add to and remove from a local store.
#using <System.dll> #using <System.Security.dll> using namespace System; using namespace System::Security::Cryptography; using namespace System::Security::Cryptography::X509Certificates; using namespace System::IO; int main() { //Create new X509 store called teststore from the local certificate store. X509Store ^ store = gcnew X509Store( "teststore",StoreLocation::CurrentUser ); store->Open( OpenFlags::ReadWrite ); X509Certificate2 ^ certificate = gcnew X509Certificate2; //Create certificates from certificate files. //You must put in a valid path to three certificates in the following constructors. X509Certificate2 ^ certificate1 = gcnew X509Certificate2( "c:\\mycerts\\*****.cer" ); X509Certificate2 ^ certificate2 = gcnew X509Certificate2( "c:\\mycerts\\*****.cer" ); X509Certificate2 ^ certificate5 = gcnew X509Certificate2( "c:\\mycerts\\*****.cer" ); //Create a collection and add two of the certificates. X509Certificate2Collection ^ collection = gcnew X509Certificate2Collection; collection->Add( certificate2 ); collection->Add( certificate5 ); //Add certificates to the store. store->Add( certificate1 ); store->AddRange( collection ); X509Certificate2Collection ^ storecollection = dynamic_cast<X509Certificate2Collection^>(store->Certificates); Console::WriteLine( "Store name: {0}", store->Name ); Console::WriteLine( "Store location: {0}", store->Location ); System::Collections::IEnumerator^ myEnum = storecollection->GetEnumerator(); while ( myEnum->MoveNext() ) { X509Certificate2 ^ x509 = safe_cast<X509Certificate2 ^>(myEnum->Current); Console::WriteLine( "certificate name: {0}", x509->Subject ); } //Remove a certificate. store->Remove( certificate1 ); X509Certificate2Collection ^ storecollection2 = dynamic_cast<X509Certificate2Collection^>(store->Certificates); Console::WriteLine( "{1}Store name: {0}", store->Name, Environment::NewLine ); System::Collections::IEnumerator^ myEnum1 = storecollection2->GetEnumerator(); while ( myEnum1->MoveNext() ) { X509Certificate2 ^ x509 = safe_cast<X509Certificate2 ^>(myEnum1->Current); Console::WriteLine( "certificate name: {0}", x509->Subject ); } //Remove a range of certificates. store->RemoveRange( collection ); X509Certificate2Collection ^ storecollection3 = dynamic_cast<X509Certificate2Collection^>(store->Certificates); Console::WriteLine( "{1}Store name: {0}", store->Name, Environment::NewLine ); if ( storecollection3->Count == 0 ) { Console::WriteLine( "Store contains no certificates." ); } else { System::Collections::IEnumerator^ myEnum2 = storecollection3->GetEnumerator(); while ( myEnum2->MoveNext() ) { X509Certificate2 ^ x509 = safe_cast<X509Certificate2 ^>(myEnum2->Current); Console::WriteLine( "certificate name: {0}", x509->Subject ); } } //Close the store. store->Close(); }
