Question

Answer 1

You may wish to try using an overload of String.Equals that accepts a parameter of type StringComparison.

For example:

myCert.Thumbprint.Equals(certificateThumbprint, StringComparison.[SomeEnumeration])

Where [SomeEnumeration] is replaced with one of the following enumerated constants:

 - CurrentCulture
 - CurrentCultureIgnoreCase
 - InvariantCulture
 - InvariantCultureIgnoreCase
 - Ordinal
 - OrdinalIgnoreCase
