System.Security.Cryptography.Pkcs and visual basic

[awrightus]

I was always under the impression that all of the same classes and
objects within .net extend to all of the languages (c++,c# and vb).
However, I'm wondering if that's not the case. I'm trying to figure
out how to do some things with s/mime digital signatures so I'm
exploring the System.Security.Cryptography namespace, in particular
System.Security.Cryptography.Pkcs and
System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates. However, it seems as
if the System.Security.Cryptography.Pkcs namespace doesn't exist in
vb. The example here on MSDN, http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms180956.aspx,
uses C#, but I didn't think that it meant that was exclusive to C#.
Am I missing something? Thanks.

Steve,

Every Net namespace (including the Microsoft.VisualBasic namespace) (this
are classes no objects) is available to every Net managed code language.

Maybe you forgot to set a reference to this namespace.

Didn't realize I needed to manually add the system.security
reference. I added that and now I'm all set. Thanks.
