'Usage
Dim instance As X509RevocationFlag

'Output chain information of the selected certificate. 
Dim ch As New X509Chain()
ch.Build(certificate)
Console.WriteLine("Chain Information")
ch.ChainPolicy.RevocationMode = X509RevocationMode.Online
Console.WriteLine("Chain revocation flag: {0}", ch.ChainPolicy.RevocationFlag)
Console.WriteLine("Chain revocation mode: {0}", ch.ChainPolicy.RevocationMode)
Console.WriteLine("Chain verification flag: {0}", ch.ChainPolicy.VerificationFlags)
Console.WriteLine("Chain verification time: {0}", ch.ChainPolicy.VerificationTime)
Console.WriteLine("Chain status length: {0}", ch.ChainStatus.Length)
Console.WriteLine("Chain application policy count: {0}", ch.ChainPolicy.ApplicationPolicy.Count)
