CertificateStores.FindAllAsync Method

Definition

Namespace:

Windows.Security.Cryptography.Certificates

Overloads

FindAllAsync()	Get all certificates from the certificate stores.
FindAllAsync(CertificateQuery)	Get all certificates from the certificate stores that match the specified query parameters.

FindAllAsync()

Get all certificates from the certificate stores.

public:
 static IAsyncOperation<IVectorView<Certificate ^> ^> ^ FindAllAsync();

/// [Windows.Foundation.Metadata.Overload("FindAllAsync")]
/// [Windows.Foundation.Metadata.RemoteAsync]
 static IAsyncOperation<IVectorView<Certificate>> FindAllAsync();

[Windows.Foundation.Metadata.Overload("FindAllAsync")]
[Windows.Foundation.Metadata.RemoteAsync]
public static IAsyncOperation<IReadOnlyList<Certificate>> FindAllAsync();

function findAllAsync()

Public Shared Function FindAllAsync () As IAsyncOperation(Of IReadOnlyList(Of Certificate))

Returns

IAsyncOperation<IVectorView<Certificate>>

IAsyncOperation<IReadOnlyList<Certificate>>

An asynchronous operation to retrieve the list of certificates.

Attributes

OverloadAttribute RemoteAsyncAttribute

Examples

The follow example enumerates certificates in an App store and adds them to the User store.

public static void AddAppSmartCardCertIntoUserStore()
{
    // Retrieve certificates in App store.
    var certs = await CertificateStores.FindAllAsync();
    // open user Personal store
    UserCertificateStore store = CertificateStores.GetUserStoreByName(StandardCertificateStoreNames.Personal);
    foreach (Certificate cert in certs)
    {
        if (cert.KeyStoreageProviderName == KeyStorageProviderNames.SmartcardKeyStorageProvider &&
            !cert.IsPerUser)
        {
            var added = await store.RequestAddAsync(cert);
            if (!added) break;
        }
    }
}

Remarks

The FindAllAsync method filters the resulting list of certificates and removes duplicates, showing only the most recent certificate when duplicates are found. This only occurs if the app is running in an app container. Duplicate certificates are certificates that have the same subject and issuer.

Expired certificates are not returned in the list of certificates.
