Hi,

I recieved a certificate file with the extention *.p7b.

my device is with win.ce net. 4.2

in the control panel , certificates, i can install only *.cer files.

Is there a way to install this certeficate ? maybe through programming with
net compact c# 2.0 ?

Thanks in advance.

No. You may be able to use CertOpenStore with CERT_STORE_PROV_PKCS7 to
accomplish this, but you'd have to P/Invoke it, of course. OpenNETCF's
Smart Device Framework has security classes in it that might help you. I'm
afraid that I don't know enough about what data is actually in a .P7B file
to really be detailed. Presumably you have encrypted contents for which you
know the private key? Most certificate authorities will generate you a .CER
file if you ask them properly and that will, naturally, work a lot better
with Windows CE.
