C# X509Store Access Web Hosting-CodePudding

I have an SSL cert stored in the Web Hosting Folder of the Certificate Store. I cannot seem to be able to access this store from C#. Does anyone know how to do this?

 X509Store store = new X509Store("Web Hosting");
 store.Open(OpenFlags.ReadOnly);
 var t = store.Certificates.GetEnumerator();

 while (t.MoveNext())
 {
     //this is always empty
}

Additional Detail I need this cert for a gRPC service that I am writing. gRPC requires a certificate for the SSL connection. In the mean time aka development I am using Let's Encrypt to generate the certificate. When the cert was generated the cert was put into the Web Hosting folder of the cert store.

It turns out you can drag and drop the certs to a different location in the cert manager. I relocated the cert to the Personal folder and I was able to access it by:

X509Store store = new X509Store(StoreLocation.LocalMachine);
store.Open(OpenFlags.ReadOnly);
