with 1.1, we'd do this:

internal class AcceptAllCertificatePolicy : System.Net.ICertificatePolicy
{
    public bool CheckValidationResult(System.Net.ServicePoint sPoint,
        System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Certificate cert, System.Net.WebRequest wRequest,int certProb)
    {
        return true;
    }
}//acceptallcertificatepolicy

and then in the consumer

System.Net.ServicePointManager.CertificatePolicy = new AcceptAllCertificatePolicy();

but try this in 2.0 and you get a warning:

System.Net.ServicePointManager.CertificatePolicy' is obsolete: 'CertificatePolicy is obsoleted for this type, please use ServerCertificateValidationCallback instead.

we don't have to implement ICertificatePolicy any longer.  and we can use anonymous delegates to craft a better solution:

System.Net.ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback +=
    delegate(object sender, System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Certificate certificate,
                            System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Chain chain,
                            System.Net.Security.SslPolicyErrors sslPolicyErrors)
        {
            return true;
        };
