If you create an X509Certificate certificate by specifying a PKCS7 signed file store for fileName, the X509Certificate is created for the certificate that signed the store rather than for any of the certificates within the store.
The following example loads an X.509 certificate from a file, calls the ToString method, and displays the results to the console.
using namespace System; using namespace System::Security::Cryptography::X509Certificates; int main() { // The path to the certificate. String^ Certificate = L"Certificate.cer"; // Load the certificate into an X509Certificate object. X509Certificate^ cert = gcnew X509Certificate( Certificate ); // Get the value. String^ resultsTrue = cert->ToString( true ); // Display the value to the console. Console::WriteLine( resultsTrue ); // Get the value. String^ resultsFalse = cert->ToString( false ); // Display the value to the console. Console::WriteLine( resultsFalse ); }
