Write a PFX to a File

Demonstrates Pfx.ToFile, which serializes the current PFX contents and writes the resulting PKCS#12 data to a file, using the supplied output password.

The file path is relative to the application's current working directory. An absolute path may also be used. Supply the path appropriate to your own environment.

Background. The .pfx and .p12 extensions both denote PKCS#12 files. The output password protects the private keys in the resulting file.
