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.

Specifies the hash algorithm for the Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA) signature deformatter.

public:
 override void SetHashAlgorithm(System::String ^ strName);

public override void SetHashAlgorithm(string strName);

override this.SetHashAlgorithm : string -> unit

Public Overrides Sub SetHashAlgorithm (strName As String)

Parameters

strName: String

The name of the hash algorithm to use for the signature deformatter.

Exceptions

CryptographicUnexpectedOperationException

The strName parameter does not map to the SHA1 hash algorithm.
