How do I read the public key from a signed C# exe
I'm signing a dot net exe using signcode.exe with an spc/pvk combo The file needs to read its own Public Key at runtime in order to verify some data. I've gone down a number of different avenues. I've tried X509Certificate executingCert = X509Certificate.CreateFromSignedFile(exe); executingCert is then null. I'm guessing signcode isn't creating an X509 signed file, though if there's a switch to change that I'm happy to go that way. edited Turns out the above does work.... I had my null check backwards (!= != ==) :) Assembly asm = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly(); string exe = asm.Location;
