Dim email As New Chilkat.Email

' ------------------------------------------------------------------------
' The GetSignedByCert method is deprecated:

Dim certObj As Chilkat.Cert = email.GetSignedByCert()
If (email.LastMethodSuccess = False) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(email.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 = email.LastSignerCert(0,certOut)
If (success = False) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(email.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If
