Remarks

Use the XmlDsigBase64Transform object when you need to sign the raw data associated with the encoded content of an element.

The Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) that describes the XmlDsigBase64Transform object is defined by the XmlDsigBase64TransformUrl field.

For more information about the Base64 decoding transform, see Section 6.6.2 of the W3C XMLDSIG specification.

Constructors

XmlDsigBase64Transform()

Initializes a new instance of the XmlDsigBase64Transform class.

Properties

Algorithm	Gets or sets the Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) that identifies the algorithm performed by the current transform. (Inherited from Transform)
Context	Gets or sets an XmlElement object that represents the document context under which the current Transform object is running. (Inherited from Transform)
InputTypes	Gets an array of types that are valid inputs to the LoadInput(Object) method of the current XmlDsigBase64Transform object.
OutputTypes	Gets an array of types that are possible outputs from the GetOutput() methods of the current XmlDsigBase64Transform object.
PropagatedNamespaces	Gets or sets a Hashtable object that contains the namespaces that are propagated into the signature. (Inherited from Transform)
Resolver	Sets the current XmlResolver object. (Inherited from Transform)

Methods

Equals(Object)	Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object)
GetDigestedOutput(HashAlgorithm)	When overridden in a derived class, returns the digest associated with a Transform object. (Inherited from Transform)
GetHashCode()	Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object)
GetInnerXml()	Returns an XML representation of the parameters of the XmlDsigBase64Transform object that are suitable to be included as subelements of an XMLDSIG <Transform> element.
GetOutput()	Returns the output of the current XmlDsigBase64Transform object.
GetOutput(Type)	Returns the output of the current XmlDsigBase64Transform object of type Stream.
GetType()	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object)
GetXml()	Returns the XML representation of the current Transform object. (Inherited from Transform)
LoadInnerXml(XmlNodeList)	Parses the specified XmlNodeList object as transform-specific content of a <Transform> element; this method is not supported because the XmlDsigBase64Transform object has no inner XML elements.
LoadInput(Object)	Loads the specified input into the current XmlDsigBase64Transform object.
MemberwiseClone()	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object)
ToString()	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object)
