Dim crypt2 As New Chilkat.Crypt2

Dim index As Integer = 0

' ------------------------------------------------------------------------
' The GetSignerCert method is deprecated:

Dim certObj As Chilkat.Cert = crypt2.GetSignerCert(index)
If (crypt2.LastMethodSuccess = False) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(crypt2.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If


' ...

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

Dim certOut As New Chilkat.Cert
Dim success As Boolean = crypt2.LastSignerCert(index,certOut)
If (success = False) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(crypt2.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If
