Write a PFX to a File

See more PFX/P12 Examples

Demonstrates Pfx.ToFile, which serializes the current PFX contents and writes the resulting PKCS#12 data to a file, using the supplied output password.

The file path is relative to the application's current working directory. An absolute path may also be used. Supply the path appropriate to your own environment.

Dim success As Boolean = False

Dim pfx As New Chilkat.Pfx

'  The file path is relative to the application's current working directory.  An absolute path
'  may also be used.  Supply the path appropriate to your own environment.
'  The PFX password should come from a secure source rather than being hard-coded.
Dim password As String = "myPfxPassword"
success = pfx.LoadPfxFile("qa_data/identity.pfx",password)
If (success = False) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(pfx.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If


'  Serialize the PFX contents and write the PKCS#12 data to a file, using the given output password.
