Using Public/Private Keys that were created with Putty

Question

I am following one the examples from a search of ssh.net examples. This example uses public/private keys. I have a general understanding, however the example has a .pem extension on the private key file. Mine is ppk When I run the code it get the error Invalid private key file. I can use this same key with putty and am able to logon with no issues.

Is there something I need to change to support the same key putty uses?

Thanks
