{
     // There is a CertificateHash and  
     // CertificateStoreName for the https protocol only.
    bindingdisplay = bindingdisplay + "\n   CertificateHash: " + 
        binding.CertificateHash + ": ";
    // Display the hash.
    foreach (System.Byte certhashbyte in binding.CertificateHash)
    {
        bindingdisplay = bindingdisplay + certhashbyte.ToString() + " ";
    }
    bindingdisplay = bindingdisplay + "\n   CertificateStoreName: " + 
        binding.CertificateStoreName;
}

Remarks

A value of "http" indicates a binding that uses the HTTP protocol. A value of "https" indicates a binding that uses HTTP over SSL.

The Protocol property value is maintained in the ApplicationHost.config file.
