Unregisters an existing system certificate store.

Parameters

name

The name of the existing system store.

registryLocation

The store location in the registry.

Remarks

Unregistering the store physically removes the store along with all the certificates.

Note   It's not recommended to unregister system stores unless they had been created by your applications. Unregistering a store which is used by the operating system may cause unpredictable results.

Exceptions

Example

This sample registers a store, fills it with some certificates (copied from another store), and unregisters it.

[C#]
// To use the code below, import MailBee namespace at the top of your code
using MailBee.Security;

// The actual code (put it into a method of your class).
CertificateStore.RegisterSystemStore("TestStore", RegistryStoreLocation.CurrentUser);
CertificateStore newStore = new CertificateStore("TestStore", CertStoreType.System, null);
CertificateStore myStore = new CertificateStore(CertificateStore.Personal, CertStoreType.System, null);
CertificateCollection coll = myStore.FindCertificates("thawte", CertificateFields.EmailAddress);

newStore.AddCertificates(coll, false);
coll = newStore.GetAllCertificates();

foreach (Certificate cert in coll)
{
    Console.WriteLine(cert.IssuedTo);
    Console.WriteLine(cert.IssuedBy);
    Console.WriteLine(cert.EmailAddress);
    Console.WriteLine(cert.ValidToDate);
    Console.WriteLine("Has private key: " + cert.HasPrivateKey);
    Console.WriteLine("------------------------------");
}
CertificateStore.UnregisterSystemStore("TestStore", RegistryStoreLocation.CurrentUser);

[Visual Basic]
' To use the code below, import MailBee namespace at the top of your code
Imports MailBee.Security

' The actual code (put it into a method of your class).
CertificateStore.RegisterSystemStore("TestStore", RegistryStoreLocation.CurrentUser)
Dim newStore As CertificateStore = New CertificateStore("TestStore", CertStoreType.System, Nothing)
Dim myStore As CertificateStore = New CertificateStore(CertificateStore.Personal, CertStoreType.System, Nothing)
Dim coll As CertificateCollection = myStore.FindCertificates("thawte", CertificateFields.EmailAddress)

newStore.AddCertificates(coll, False)
coll = newStore.GetAllCertificates()

For Each cert As Certificate In coll
    Console.WriteLine(cert.IssuedTo)
    Console.WriteLine(cert.IssuedBy)
    Console.WriteLine(cert.EmailAddress)
    Console.WriteLine(cert.ValidToDate)
    Console.WriteLine("Has private key: " & cert.HasPrivateKey)
    Console.WriteLine("------------------------------")
Next
CertificateStore.UnregisterSystemStore("TestStore", RegistryStoreLocation.CurrentUser)
