CertCreateCertificateContext fails on b64 certificate

I am trying to create a PCCERT_CONTEXT out of base64 encoded
certificate...but CertCreateCertificateContext returns NULL (it is opened
correctly double clicking on its icon), while it works well on a der encoded
certificate ().

where do I miss something ?

Any idea ?

Thank you

Andrea

Below I enclose my source code and the base64 certificate

int getCN(unsigned char* crt,unsigned long clen,char* cn_operatore, int
cn_size)

{

PCCERT_CONTEXT pCertContext = NULL;

pCertContext = CertCreateCertificateContext(

X509_ASN_ENCODING | PKCS_7_ASN_ENCODING,

crt,

clen

);

....
}
