ICertEncodeDateArray::Encode method (certenc.h)

The Encode method returns an Abstract Syntax Notation One (ASN.1)-encoded string of the date array stored in this object.

Use the Decode method to decode the encoded string into an CertEncodeDateArray object.

Before using this method, you must call both the Reset method to size the array and the SetValue method to set each array element.

Syntax

HRESULT Encode(
  [out] BSTR *pstrBinary
);

Parameters

[out] pstrBinary

A pointer to a BSTR that will contain the encoded Date array. When you have finished using the BSTR, free it by calling the SysFreeString function.

Return value

C++

If the method succeeds, the method returns S_OK.

If the method fails, it returns an HRESULT value that indicates the error. For a list of common error codes, see Common HRESULT Values.

VB

The return value is the ASN.1-encoded string that represents the DATE array.
