public DERVisibleString(java.lang.String string)
```
    Basic constructor
    
    Parameters:
    
    string - the string to be carried in the VisibleString object,
- Method Detail
  - getInstance
```
public static DERVisibleString getInstance(java.lang.Object obj)
```
    Return a Visible String from the passed in object.
    
    Parameters:
    
    obj - a DERVisibleString or an object that can be converted into one.
    
    Returns:
    
    a DERVisibleString instance, or null
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the object cannot be converted.
  - getInstance
```
public static DERVisibleString getInstance(ASN1TaggedObject obj,
                                           boolean explicit)
```
    Return a Visible String from a tagged object.
    
    Parameters:
    
    obj - the tagged object holding the object we want
    
    explicit - true if the object is meant to be explicitly tagged false otherwise.
    
    Returns:
    
    a DERVisibleString instance, or null
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the tagged object cannot be converted.
  - getString
```
public java.lang.String getString()
```
    Description copied from interface: ASN1String
