Write a PFX to a File

See more PFX/P12 Examples

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.

-- Important: See this note about string length limitations for strings returned by sp_OAMethod calls.
