Remarks

The value of the XmlDsigEnvelopedSignatureTransformUrl field is http://www.w3.org/2000/09/xmldsig#enveloped-signature.

Use this field to conveniently supply a value to one of the URI attributes of an element used for XMLDSIG.

The XmlDsigEnvelopedSignatureTransform class implements the transform described by the XmlDsigEnvelopedSignatureTransformUrl field.
