Serialize a PFX to an Encoded String

See more PFX/P12 Examples

Demonstrates Pfx.ToEncodedString, which serializes the current PFX contents and returns the PKCS#12 bytes encoded as text using a named encoding.

// Demonstrates using the Chilkat Pascal wrapper via the C bridge DLL.
// Builds as a console application under Lazarus (FPC) or Delphi.
