Loading csr or pem files in CertificateRequest

[amin1best]

Hi,
In System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Certificate2 there is a Constructor for Loading cer and crt files such as:

X509Certificate2 Certificate= new X509Certificate2(@"C:\test.cer");

But in System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.CertificateRequest there is no such constructor for loading csr or pem files.
How to load a csr or pem file in System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.CertificateRequest?
Is there a plan to add this feature?

How to load a csr or pem file in System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.CertificateRequest?

Right now there is nothing built-in to accomplish this. It could be done today using PemEncoding and the System.Formats.Asn1 package, but that is a bit low level.

Is there a plan to add this feature?

There is an existing request for this at #29547. We should work in that issue to move the proposal along and discuss needs / gaps / use cases / etc for the API proposal.
