X509Certificate Class
Silverlight
Provides methods that help you use X.509 version 3 certificates.
Namespace: System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
The X509Certificate type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() ![]() | X509Certificate | Initializes a new instance of the X509Certificate class. |
![]() ![]() | X509Certificate(Byte()) | Initializes a new instance of the X509Certificate class defined from a sequence of bytes representing an X.509 version 3 certificate. |
![]() ![]() | X509Certificate(IntPtr) | Security Critical. Initializes a new instance of the X509Certificate class using a handle to an unmanaged PCCERT_CONTEXT structure. |
![]() ![]() | X509Certificate(String) | Security Critical. Initializes a new instance of the X509Certificate class using a using a certificate file name. |
![]() ![]() | X509Certificate(X509Certificate) | Initializes a new instance of the X509Certificate class using another X509Certificate class. |
![]() ![]() | X509Certificate(Byte(), String) | Initializes a new instance of the X509Certificate class using a byte array and a password. |
![]() ![]() | X509Certificate(String, String) | Security Critical. Initializes a new instance of the X509Certificate class by using a certificate file name and a password to access the certificate. |
![]() ![]() | X509Certificate(Byte(), String, X509KeyStorageFlags) | Initializes a new instance of the X509Certificate class using a byte array, a password, and a key storage flag. |
![]() ![]() | X509Certificate(String, String, X509KeyStorageFlags) | Security Critical. Initializes a new instance of the X509Certificate class using a certificate file name, a password used to access the certificate, and a key storage flag. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() ![]() | Handle | Gets a handle to a Microsoft Cryptographic API certificate context described by an unmanaged PCCERT_CONTEXT structure. |
![]() ![]() | Issuer | Gets the name of the certificate authority that issued the X.509 version 3 certificate. |

![]() ![]() | Export(X509ContentType) | Exports the current X509Certificate object to a byte array in a format described by one of the X509ContentType values. |
![]() ![]() | Export(X509ContentType, String) | Exports the current X509Certificate object to a byte array in a format described by one of the X509ContentType values, and using the specified password. |
![]() ![]() | Finalize | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before the Object is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() ![]() | GetCertHash | Returns the hash value for the X.509 version 3 certificate as an array of bytes. |
![]() ![]() | GetCertHashString | Returns the hash value for the X.509 version 3 certificate as a hexadecimal string. |
![]() ![]() | GetEffectiveDateString | Returns the effective date of this X.509 version 3 certificate. |
![]() ![]() | GetExpirationDateString | Returns the expiration date of this X.509 version 3 certificate. |
![]() ![]() | GetFormat | Returns the name of the format of this X.509 version 3 certificate. |
![]() ![]() | GetHashCode | Returns the hash code for the X.509 version 3 certificate as an integer. (Overrides Object.GetHashCode.) |
![]() ![]() | GetKeyAlgorithm | Returns the key algorithm information for this X.509 version 3 certificate. |
![]() ![]() | GetKeyAlgorithmParameters | Returns the key algorithm parameters for the X.509 version 3 certificate. |
