(VB.NET) Create XML Signature with External XML Reference

Demonstrates how to create an XML digital signature where the referenced data is external. In this case, the data is an XML file located at the following URL: https://www.chilkatsoft.com/data/helloWorld.xml

' This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
' See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

' This example inserts an XML signature in the following XML:

' <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
' <abc>
'   <xyz>
' 	<name>helloWorld.xml</name>
' 	<url>https://www.chilkatsoft.com/data/helloWorld.xml</url>
'   </xyz>
' </abc>

' Build the above XML to be signed.
Dim xml As New Chilkat.Xml

Dim gen As New Chilkat.XmlDSigGen

' Indicate the location within the XML the Signature will be inserted.

If (success = False) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(gen.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If


' Provide the private key for signing via the certificate, and indicate that
' we want the base64 of the certificate embedded in the KeyInfo.
