 in the PrivateKeyCertSelectionDelegate event of SslServerStream, i 
 need to return a AssymetricAlgorithm, how should i do it then, i 
 would assume i have to use something out of the certificate for it.

+Ok, that's probably the error. An X.509 certificate *doesn't* contain
+a private key. I.e. it can be freely distributed and sent in a
+communication channel, like SSL/TLS.
+
+Seeing this "CN=Joe's-Software-Emporium" in your log I guess you
+created the certificate using Microsoft's makecert utility. In that
+case the private key was either created in a CryptoAPI container or
+stored in a PVK file - depending on the options used to generate the
+certificate.
+
+Mono.Security has support to read PVK files (created with or without
+password). If the private key is in a CryptoAPI container when you'll
+export it (if the container allows it). You can either write a small
+tool to do it or you can try to export the certificate *and* it's
+private key into a PKCS12 file (and use the PKCS12 class).
