public static void Main(string[] args)
{
try
{
// Replace with the actual path to your certificate file
string certificatePath = "mycertificate.pfx";
string certificatePassword = "mypassword";
X509Certificate2 certificate = new X509Certificate2(certificatePath, certificatePassword);
Console.WriteLine("Certificate Issuer Name: {0}", certificate.IssuerName.Name);
}
catch (CryptographicException e)
{
Console.WriteLine("An error occurred when processing the certificate.");
