(VB.NET) Decrypt a SAML Response

Demonstrates how to decrypt a SAML response.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.76 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.
