GetSerialNumberByteArray Method (PkiCertificate)

Same as System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Certificate.GetSerialNumber. Returns the serial number of the PKI certificate as an array of bytes in little-endian order.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#
C++/CLI

'Declaration
 
<BrowsableAttribute(False)>
<EditorBrowsableAttribute(EditorBrowsableState.Advanced)>
Public Function GetSerialNumberByteArray() As Byte()

'Usage
 
Dim instance As PkiCertificate
Dim value() As Byte
 
value = instance.GetSerialNumberByteArray()

[Browsable(false)]
[EditorBrowsable(EditorBrowsableState.Advanced)]
public byte[] GetSerialNumberByteArray()

[Browsable(false)]
[EditorBrowsable(EditorBrowsableState.Advanced)]
public:
array<byte>^ GetSerialNumberByteArray();

Return Value

The serial number of the PKI certificate as an array of bytes in little-endian order.

Remarks

This method has been introduced as an alternative way to achieve the functionality of System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Certificate.GetSerialNumber for some COM consumers (such as Microsoft C++ native COM support #import), where the automatically generated getter function for the System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Certificate2.SerialNumber property becomes GetSerialNumber, causing a conflict.

Requirements

Target Platforms: .NET Framework: Windows 10 (selected versions), Windows 11 (selected versions), Windows Server 2016, Windows Server 2022; .NET: Linux, macOS, Microsoft Windows
