Hi all, welcome back,


Today we'll do some more P/Invoke with CryptoAPI and C#. The following sample is a conversion to C# of the C++ sample in Example C Program: Signing a Message and Verifying a Message Signature:

Note: I know there are easier ways now in .NET to handle certificate stores (X509Store) and certificates (X509Certificate2), but I decided to include the P/Invoke declarations in case you need them and for illustration purposes.


I hope this helps.


Cheers,
