    <p>I'm having problems inserting a new CA certificate with privatekey in the Root certificate store of the localmachine. </p> <p>This is what happens:</p> <pre><code>//This doesn't help either. new StorePermission (PermissionState.Unrestricted) { Flags = StorePermissionFlags.AddToStore }.Assert(); var store = new X509Store(StoreName.Root, StoreLocation.LocalMachine); privkey.PersistKeyInCsp = true; //This shouldn't be necessary doesn't make a difference what so ever. RSACryptoServiceProvider.UseMachineKeyStore = true; cert.PrivateKey = privkey; store.Open (OpenFlags.MaxAllowed); store.Add (cert); store.Close (); </code></pre> <p>The certificate gets inserted and it all looks dandy: (see!) <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/eOtPT.png" alt="note it says it has a private key"></p> <p>Note: is says it has a privatekey.</p> <p>So you'd say one would be able to find it with <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms732026.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">FindPrivateKey</a> </p> <pre><code>C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop&gt;FindPrivateKey.exe Root LocalMachine -t "54 11 b1 f4 31 99 19 d3 5a f0 5f 01 95 fc aa 6f 71 12 13 eb" FindPrivateKey failed for the following reason: Unable to obtain private key file name Use /? option for help </code></pre> <p>It's cute .... BUT IT'S WRONG!! (2 stupid dogs reference)</p> <p>And the Certificate export dialog gives me this very fine message: <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/WiYKn.png" alt="alt text"></p> <p>This code is run while impersonating an administrator using this snippet: <a href="http://www.codeproject.com/KB/cs/zetaimpersonator.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">click here</a></p> <p>I'd just love to know WHY?</p> <p>(tested on Windows Server 2008 R2 &amp; Windows 7)</p> <p>I'll be damned!</p> <p><strong>It works when I compile it to v3.5!!!!</strong></p> <p>What to do?</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
