VB.NET Requires Chilkat v11.0.0+

Transition from Cert.ExportPrivateKey to Cert.GetPrivateKey

Provides instructions for replacing deprecated ExportPrivateKey method calls with GetPrivateKey. VB.NET

Dim success As Boolean = False

Dim cert As New Chilkat.Cert

'  ------------------------------------------------------------------------
'  The ExportPrivateKey method is deprecated:

Dim privatekeyObj As Chilkat.PrivateKey = cert.ExportPrivateKey()
If (cert.LastMethodSuccess = False) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(cert.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If


'  ...
'  ...



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

Dim privatekeyOut As New Chilkat.PrivateKey
success = cert.GetPrivateKey(privatekeyOut)
If (success = False) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(cert.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If
