Answer 1

I think you can't do it using that API. But you can create one using Bouncy Castle (http://www.bouncycastle.org) and later convert that object to a X509Certificate2 object (BC has some utility class for doing that).

-edit- Take a look at these BC classes: X509V3CertificateGenerator and X509Certificate

The BC utility class that later will convert a BC X509Certificate object to a regular X509Certificate2 object is: DotNetUtilities
