How to find certificate by its thumbprint in C#

Question

I am using this code to find the certificate by its thumbprint. certificate exists in certificate manager in personal certificate store but this code is not finding that cer

Answer 1

to ensure that those LTR "\u200e" and RTL "\u200f" chars are removed from your thumbprint string do the following

thumbprint = thumbprint.Replace("\u200e", string.Empty).Replace("\u200f", string.Empty).Replace(" ",string.Empty);

the last string replace for the white space removal isnt completely necessary as it finds my certificate with or without them.
