HERES the code

Dim MyCertificatePolicy As System.Net.ICertificatePolicy
 
        ServicePointManager.CertificatePolicy = MyCertificatePolicy
 
        Try
 
            Dim myRequest As WebRequest = WebRequest.Create("https://katiya.homedns.org/KCMWS/KCSWS.asmx")
            Dim myResponse As WebResponse = myRequest.GetResponse()
 
 
            'ProcessResponse(myResponse)
            'public bool CheckValidationResult(ServicePoint sp, X509Certificate cert,WebRequest req, int problem)
            MyCertificatePolicy.CheckValidationResult(ServicePointManager.CertificatePolicy, X509Certificate, myRequest, 9) = True
            myResponse.Close()
 
        Catch ex As WebException
            If ex.Status = WebExceptionStatus.TrustFailure Then
                ' Code for handling security certificate problems goes here.
                Response.Write(ex.ToString())
            End If
            ' Other exception handling goes here
        End Try

found the answer


Public Class TrustAllCertificatePolicy
Implements System.Net.ICertificatePolicy

Public Function CheckValidationResult(ByVal srvPoint As ServicePoint, ByVal certificate As System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Certificate, ByVal request As WebRequest, ByVal certificateProblem As Integer) As Boolean Implements System.Net.ICertificatePolicy.CheckValidationResult
Return True
End Function
End Class
