Dim cert As New ChilkatCert

' ------------------------------------------------------------------------
' The GetCertChain method is deprecated:

Dim certchainObj As ChilkatCertChain
Set certchainObj = cert.GetCertChain()
If (cert.LastMethodSuccess = 0) Then
    Debug.Print cert.LastErrorText
    Exit Sub
End If

' ...

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

Dim certchainOut As New ChilkatCertChain
Dim success As Long
success = cert.BuildCertChain(certchainOut)
If (success = 0) Then
    Debug.Print cert.LastErrorText
    Exit Sub
End If
