Dim cert As New ChilkatCert

' ------------------------------------------------------------------------
' The ExportPublicKey method is deprecated:

Dim publickeyObj As PublicKey
Set publickeyObj = cert.ExportPublicKey()
If (cert.LastMethodSuccess = 0) Then
    Debug.Print cert.LastErrorText
    Exit Sub
End If

' ...

' ------------------------------------------------------------------------
' Do the equivalent using GetPublicKey.
' Your application creates a new, empty PublicKey object which is passed 
' in the last argument and filled upon success.

Dim publickeyOut As New PublicKey
Dim success As Long
success = cert.GetPublicKey(publickeyOut)
If (success = 0) Then
    Debug.Print cert.LastErrorText
    Exit Sub
End If
