Parameters

• cert
  Type: System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Certificate2

  The certificate to be used to sign the file.

• timestampUrl
  Type: System.Uri

  Indicates that the file is to be timestamped by the timestamp server at the specified HTTP address. This parameter can be NULL if you do not want a timestamp.

• path
  Type: System.String

  The name of the file to sign.

Remarks

This function can only sign a PE file if the X509Certificate2 parameter represents a certificate in the current user's personal certificate store.

This overload of the method calls SignTool.exe and therefore requires the .NET Framework 2.0 to be installed.

.NET Framework Security

• Full trust for the immediate caller. This member cannot be used by partially trusted code. For more information, see dd66cd4c-b087-415f-9c3e-94e3a1835f74.
