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

Chilkat.Dsa dsa = new Chilkat.Dsa();

// Load a PEM private key.
string pemPrivateKey;
pemPrivateKey = dsa.LoadText("dsa_priv.pem");
// Import the unencrypted PEM into the DSA object.
bool success = dsa.FromPem(pemPrivateKey);
if (success != true) {
    Debug.WriteLine(dsa.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// Write it out as a DER file:
success = dsa.ToDerFile("dsa_priv.der");
if (success != true) {
    Debug.WriteLine(dsa.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// Load an encrypted PEM private key.
pemPrivateKey = dsa.LoadText("dsa_privEncrypted.pem");
// Import the encrypted PEM into the DSA object.
success = dsa.FromEncryptedPem("myPassword",pemPrivateKey);
if (success != true) {
    Debug.WriteLine(dsa.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// Write it out as an unencrypted DER file:
success = dsa.ToDerFile("dsa_priv2.der");
if (success != true) {
    Debug.WriteLine(dsa.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

Debug.WriteLine("Finished!");
