VB.NET Requires Chilkat v11.0.0+

Transition from Crypt2.GetSignerCertChain to Crypt2.LastSignerCert

Provides instructions for replacing deprecated GetSignerCertChain method calls with LastSignerCert. VB.NET

Dim success As Boolean = False

Dim crypt2 As New Chilkat.Crypt2

'  ...
'  ...
Dim index As Integer = 0

'  ------------------------------------------------------------------------
'  The GetSignerCertChain method is deprecated:

Dim certchainObj As Chilkat.CertChain = crypt2.GetSignerCertChain(index)
If (crypt2.LastMethodSuccess = False) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(crypt2.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If


'  ...
'  ...



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

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


Dim certChain As New Chilkat.CertChain
success = signerCert.BuildCertChain(certChain)
If (success = False) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(signerCert.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If
