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

// You can verify a signed DLL or EXE.
string path = "c:/someDir/something.dll";

Chilkat.CodeSign codeSign = new Chilkat.CodeSign();

// If successful, the signature is removed from the EXE or DLL file.

if (success == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(codeSign.LastErrorText);
}

Debug.WriteLine("success: " + Convert.ToString(success));
