Dim crypt As New Chilkat.Crypt2

crypt.CryptAlgorithm = "aes"
crypt.CipherMode = "cbc"
crypt.KeyLength = 256
// ...

// ------------------------------------------------------------------------
// The RandomizeKey method is deprecated:

// Generates and sets a random 32-byte (256-bit) secret key.
crypt.RandomizeKey 

// ------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Do the equivalent using GenRandomBytesENC followed by SetEncodedKey

crypt.EncodingMode = "base64"
Dim randomKeyBase64 As String
randomKeyBase64 = crypt.GenRandomBytesENC(32)
crypt.SetEncodedKey randomKeyBase64,"base64"
