XmlDsigXsltTransform.LoadInnerXml(XmlNodeList) Method
Definition
Important
Some information relates to prerelease product that may be substantially modified before it’s released. Microsoft makes no warranties, express or implied, with respect to the information provided here.
Parses the specified XmlNodeList object as transform-specific content of a <Transform> element and configures the internal state of the current XmlDsigXsltTransform object to match the <Transform> element.
public:
override void LoadInnerXml(System::Xml::XmlNodeList ^ nodeList);public override void LoadInnerXml (System.Xml.XmlNodeList nodeList);override this.LoadInnerXml : System.Xml.XmlNodeList -> unitPublic Overrides Sub LoadInnerXml (nodeList As XmlNodeList)Parameters
- nodeList
- XmlNodeList
An XmlNodeList object that encapsulates an XSLT style sheet to load into the current XmlDsigXsltTransform object. This style sheet is applied to the document loaded by the LoadInput(Object) method.
Exceptions
The nodeList parameter is null.
-or-
The nodeList parameter does not contain an XmlDsigXsltTransform object.
Examples
The following code example shows how to sign and verify an XML document using the XmlDsigXsltTransform class with an envelope signature.
