    // Note: Not all certificates contain a Subject Alternative Name.
    // If it does not, the SubjectAlternativeName property will contain the empty string.

    // Here's a sample of the subjectAltNameXml:

    // <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    // <SubjectAltName>
    //     <name type="oid" oid="2.16.76.1.3.4">...</name>
    //     <name type="oid" oid="2.16.76.1.3.2">...</name>
    //     <name type="oid" oid="2.16.76.1.3.3">...</name>
    //     <name type="oid" oid="2.16.76.1.3.7">...</name>
    //     <rfc822Name>...</rfc822Name>
    // </SubjectAltName>

    // The XML can be parsed like this:

    var xml = new chilkat.Xml();

    xml.LoadXml(subjectAltNameXml);
