Create x509 certificates?

[KlassifiedBBS]

Does anyone know if there is any sample code to create a x509 certificate
out there - I'll buy a book if it has the code in it.

I have spent a couple of days digging around in the
System.Security.Cryptography namespace, and the RSACryptoServiceProvider
class. I can create key pairs, sign, and do most of the crypto things I
need to do.

However nowhere is there code to save the created keypairs to a x509
certificate file.

Can someone suggest a starting place?

I'm pretty sure that x509 requires a certificate authority to work
correctly.
We set up a server on our domain with Microsoft Certificate server
installed. It comes with Win2k server and 2k3 server.
I believe it even has a SDK that you can leverage in your code.
