What's the difference between remotecertificatevalidationcallbackflag and a version in VB:

ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback = New RemoteCertificateValidationCallback(AddressOf ValidateCert)

Private Function ValidateCert(ByVal sender As Object,

_ByVal cert As X509Certificate,

_ByVal chain As X509Chain,

_ByVal sslErrors As SslPolicyErrors) As Boolean

Return True

End Function

Not sure why/how your "flag" reference is different?

I just named it this way, to show that my client will accept ALL certificates from the server it is trying to talk to. It is your custom delegate callback function of type RemoteCertificateValidationCallback.
