Considering X509Certificate2 has an SafeCertContextHandle member and X509Store has a SafeCertStoreHandler member (which are both a type of SafeHandle) they *should* implement IDisposable.

As to why they don't, it's anyones guess.  Probably just an oversight.

You can call the X509Certificate2.Reset method to manually dispose of the SafeCertContextHandle and release resources; and call X509Store.Close to manually dispose of the SafeCertStoreHandle and release resources.
