Dim success As Boolean
success = False

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

Dim privKey As New Chilkat.PrivateKey

// We have the hexidecimal encoded bytes of the private key and public key:
Dim privKeyHex As String
privKeyHex = "d4ee72dbf913584ad5b6d8f1f769f8ad3afe7c28cbf1d4fbe097a88f44755842"
Dim pubKeyHex As String
pubKeyHex = "19bf44096984cdfe8541bac167dc3b96c85086aa30b6b6cb0c5c38ad703166e1"

// Load these values into the Chilkat private key object:
success = privKey.LoadEd25519(privKeyHex,pubKeyHex)
If (success = False) Then
    System.DebugLog(privKey.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If

// ---------------------------------------------------------------
// We don't actually need the public key.  If we pass an empty string for the public key,
// Chilkat will automatically compute it.
Dim privKey2 As New Chilkat.PrivateKey
success = privKey2.LoadEd25519(privKeyHex,"")

// Let's get the public key to see that it computed the same value.
Dim sbPubKeyHex As New Chilkat.StringBuilder
privKeyHex = privKey2.GetRawHex(sbPubKeyHex)
System.DebugLog("computed public key = " + sbPubKeyHex.GetAsString())

// The output should be:
// computed public key = 19bf44096984cdfe8541bac167dc3b96c85086aa30b6b6cb0c5c38ad703166e1
