Reading a certificate signing request with C#

Question

I want to read the contents of a CSR in C#. However, I haven\'t found any way to do it in C#. What I\'ve found was the namespace System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certifica

Answer 1

Look at BouncyCastle's C# implementation. Used it for PGP stuff in the past, worked great. Something like this should get you started (not tested):

var textReader = File.OpenText(...);
var reader = new Org.BouncyCastle.OpenSsl.PEMReader(textReader);
var req = reader.ReadObject() as Org.BouncyCastle.Pkcs.Pkcs10CertificationRequest;
var info = req.GetCertificationRequestInfo();
Console.WriteLine(info.Subject);
