Dim cert As New Chilkat.Cert


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

Dim certchainObj As Chilkat.CertChain = cert.GetCertChain()
If (cert.LastMethodSuccess = False) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(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 Chilkat.CertChain
Dim success As Boolean = cert.BuildCertChain(certchainOut)
If (success = False) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(cert.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If
