VB.NET

Dim success As Boolean = False

' This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.83 or greater.

Dim cert As New Chilkat.Cert

' The thumbprint can be passed in any encoding, such as hex, base64, etc.
' The 2nd argument indicates the encoding of the 1st argument.
success = cert.LoadByThumbprint("ea5a129c1919a52d238ee28d9f3a8f345b768388","hex")
If (success = False) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(cert.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If


Debug.WriteLine("Found: " & cert.SubjectDN)
