Visual Basic 6.0

Transition from RandomizeKey to GenRandomBytesENC

Provides instructions for replacing deprecated RandomizeKey method calls with GenRandomBytesENC. Visual Basic 6.0

Dim crypt As New ChilkatCrypt2

crypt.CryptAlgorithm = "aes"
crypt.CipherMode = "cbc"
crypt.KeyLength = 256
' ...

' ------------------------------------------------------------------------
' The RandomizeKey method is deprecated:

' Generates and sets a random 32-byte (256-bit) secret key.
crypt.RandomizeKey 

' ------------------------------------------------------------------------
' Do the equivalent using GenRandomBytesENC followed by SetEncodedKey

crypt.EncodingMode = "base64"
Dim randomKeyBase64 As String
randomKeyBase64 = crypt.GenRandomBytesENC(32)
