Dim cert As New Chilkat.Cert


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

Dim publickeyObj As Chilkat.PublicKey = cert.ExportPublicKey()
If (cert.LastMethodSuccess = False) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(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 Chilkat.PublicKey
Dim success As Boolean = cert.GetPublicKey(publickeyOut)
If (success = False) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(cert.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If
