Dim asn As New Chilkat.Asn

Dim success As Boolean

//  Begin with loading ASN.1 from a binary DER/BER format file.
success = asn.LoadBinaryFile("/Users/chilkat/testData/p7b/test.p7b")
If (success <> True) Then
    System.DebugLog(asn.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If

//  Convert ASN.1 to XML:
Dim strXml As String
strXml = asn.AsnToXml()
If (asn.LastMethodSuccess <> True) Then
    System.DebugLog(asn.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If

//  The XML returned by AsnToXml will be compact and not pretty-formatted.
//  Use Chilkat XML to format the XML better:
Dim xml As New Chilkat.Xml
success = xml.LoadXml(strXml)
//  Assuming success for this example..
//  This is formatted better for human viewing:
System.DebugLog(xml.GetXml())

//  Now get the ASN.1 in base64 format.  Any encoding supported
//  by Chilkat can be passed, such as "hex", "uu", "quoted-printable", "base32", "modbase64", etc.
Dim strBase64 As String
strBase64 = asn.GetEncodedDer("base64")

//  Load the ASN.1 from XML:
Dim asn2 As New Chilkat.Asn
success = asn2.LoadAsnXml(xml.GetXml())
If (success <> True) Then
    System.DebugLog(asn2.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If

//  Load the ASN.1 from an encoded string, such as base64:
Dim asn3 As New Chilkat.Asn
success = asn3.LoadEncoded(strBase64,"base64")
If (success <> True) Then
    System.DebugLog(asn3.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If
