(VB.NET) Amazon Glacier Upload Archive from In-Memory Data

Demonstrates how to add an archive to a vault from data in memory.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.78 or greater.

Chilkat .NET Downloads Chilkat .NET Framework Chilkat for .NET Core

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