Not sure what you are asking. ClientCertificates.Add() can only take a X509Certificate as a paremeter and a X509 certificate can only obtained by passing either a filename or a byte[] to the constructor (or by using an Import() overload with the same parameters)

What 'string' are you referring to ?
