    // The XML returned by AsnToXml will be compact and not pretty-formatted.
    // Use Chilkat XML to format the XML better:
    Get Create (RefClass(cComChilkatXml)) To hoXml
    If (Not(IsComObjectCreated(hoXml))) Begin
        Send CreateComObject of hoXml
    End
    Get ComLoadXml Of hoXml sStrXml To iSuccess
    // Assuming success for this example..
    // This is formatted better for human viewing:
    Get ComGetXml Of hoXml To sTemp1
    Showln sTemp1

    // 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.
    Get ComGetEncodedDer Of hoAsn "base64" To sStrBase64

    // Load the ASN.1 from XML:
    Get Create (RefClass(cComChilkatAsn)) To hoAsn2

        Showln sTemp1

    // Load the ASN.1 from an encoded string, such as base64:
