Parameters

str

The OID string in dotted notation (e.g. "1.3.14.3.2.26").

Returns

A byte array containing the ASN.1 encoded OID.

Remarks

A System.Security.Cryptography.CryptographicUnexpectedOperationException will be thrown if the OID is invalid, like:

• if the OID string has less than two parts (e.g. "0");
• if the encoded OID would be greater than 127 bytes;

A OverflowException will be thrown if a part of the OID is bigger than int.int.MaxValue.
