Specifies the format of an X.509 certificate.
Syntax
public enum X509ContentType
Remarks
Content types X509ContentType.Cert, X509ContentType.Pkcs12, and X509ContentType.SerializedCert can be exported as byte arrays. Therefore, all three formats are serialized certificates. X509ContentType.SerializedCert differs from an exported X509ContentType.Cert file in that it is created by using the tp://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=183293, which serializes both the encoded certificate and its encoded properties. If you export the same System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Certificate object in both formats and view the resulting byte arrays, you will see that the two are different.
