Am I correct in stating to my manager that there is no way (outside of DECLARE APIs) to add or manage the certificate store in .NET. In otherwords, we need to use seclib to do this?

Thanx

A reply via email would be appreciated.

There's no way to directly manage Windows certificate stores from the .NET runtime (v1.0/1.1).

However, Microsoft has released an add-on library for the .NET framework that supports certificate management. You can find more information about this library over here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/webservices/building/wse/

Also, .NET framework 2.0 will be able to handle this.
