CertificateStore Constructor (String, CertStoreType, String)
Opens an existing or creates a new store of certificates.

Namespace: MailBee.Security
Assembly: MailBee.NET (in MailBee.NET.dll) Version: 12.4 build 677 for .NET 4.5
Syntax
public CertificateStore(
	string storeName,
	CertStoreType storeType,
	string pfxPassword
)

Parameters

storeName
Type: SystemString
The name of the certificate store or the filename if the store is a file.
storeType
Type: MailBee.SecurityCertStoreType
The type of the certificate store.
pfxPassword
Type: SystemString
PFX (.P12, PKCS #12) password if storeType is Pfx; otherwise, can be a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).
Exceptions
ExceptionCondition
MailBeeInvalidArgumentExceptionstoreName is a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) or an empty string while storeType is neither Memory nor PfxBytes.
MailBeeIOExceptionThe specified PFX file can not be opened or read.
MailBeeCertificateStoreWin32ExceptionWin32 returned an error during opening the certificate store.
Remarks

Only Memory stores can be created. Other stores can only be opened. It's possible, however, to create a memory store and then save it into a file using SaveToFile(String, CertStoreFileType, String) method. To create a new system store, use RegisterSystemStore(String, RegistryStoreLocation) method.

If you open a file store and then modify its contents, it won't be updated on disk until you save it back to the file. A system store, however, gets updated immediately in its registry location each time you call any method which modifies this store.

Note Note
This overload opens system stores which are located in HKEY_CURRENT_USER registry branch only. To open a system store located in another branch of the registry (such as HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE which is user-independent), use CertificateStore(String, CertStoreType, String, CryptoServiceProvider, RegistryStoreLocation) overload.
Note Note
In .NET Standard 2.0 edition and later, this constructor is no longer available (it's Win32-specific). Use CertificateStore(X509Store) instead.
Examples
The example is available in CertificateStore topic.
