I got an X,509 end certificate where I need to verify the issuer of the
certificate.
The issuer certificate is installed in the Trusted Root Certification
Authorities store in Windows.
How can that be done using either Framework 1.1 directly or WSE 2.0.

Thanks!

.NET 1.1 requires use of Pinvoke.
Here's one way to do it:

Thank you!
That seems to work fine in a WinForm testapplication.

I will now try and test it in a webform app. There are often problems with
certificate stores when running in the IIS process.
