Convert ASN.1 to/from Binary DER, XML, and Base64

Demonstrates how to convert ASN.1 from and to any of the following formats: binary DER, Base64, and XML. Xojo Plugin

Dim success As Boolean
success = False

Dim asn As New Chilkat.Asn

// Begin with loading ASN.1 from a binary DER/BER format file.
success = asn.LoadBinaryFile("/Users/chilkat/testData/p7b/test.p7b")
If (success <> True) Then
    System.DebugLog(asn.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If

// Convert ASN.1 to XML:
Dim strXml As String
strXml = asn.AsnToXml()
If (asn.LastMethodSuccess <> True) Then
    System.DebugLog(asn.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If

// The XML returned by AsnToXml will be compact and not pretty-formatted.
// Use Chilkat XML to format the XML better:
Dim xml As New Chilkat.Xml
success = xml.LoadXml(strXml)
// Assuming success for this example..
// This is formatted better for human viewing:
System.DebugLog(xml.GetXml())

// Now get the ASN.1 in base64 format.  Any encoding supported
// by Chilkat can be passed, such as "hex", "uu", "quoted-printable", "base32", "modbase64", etc.
Dim strBase64 As String
strBase64 = asn.GetEncodedDer("base64")

// Load the ASN.1 from XML:
Dim asn2 As New Chilkat.Asn
success = asn2.LoadAsnXml(xml.GetXml())
If (success <> True) Then
    System.DebugLog(asn2.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If

// Load the ASN.1 from an encoded string, such as base64:
Dim asn3 As New Chilkat.Asn
success = asn3.LoadEncoded(strBase64,"base64")
If (success <> True) Then
    System.DebugLog(asn3.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If
