//  Our HMAC key will be the bytes represented in the following hex string.
//  In other words, the HMAC key is composed of the bytes 0x41, 0xC2, 0x1C, ...

//  Our desire is to HMAC the bytes represented in the following string:
string dataHex = "C22078065B01460001000000010062043BF5B18228C8E02D17BCFE4E00561FA6DEC216EA97195CEB579942E275C21932258E3CD391E507FF4E7FD4C787A8447DA111C54A9C1795E7FF4C0BAA2EDA";

//  We'll need to decode the hex to binary:
Chilkat.BinData bd = new Chilkat.BinData();
bd.AppendEncoded(dataHex,"hex");

//  Do the HMAC-SHA256 hash and return as a hex string:
