The following example uses the GetXml method in the CipherReference class to write the XML values to the console.

C#

using System;
using System.Security.Cryptography.Xml;
using System.Xml;
using System.IO;

/// This sample used the GetXml method in the CipherReference class to
/// write the XML values for the CipherReference to the console.
namespace CipherReference2
{
    class CipherReference2
    {
        [STAThread]
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            //Create a URI string.
            String uri = "http://www.woodgrovebank.com/document.xml";

            // Create a Base64 transform. The input content retrieved from the
            // URI should be Base64-decoded before other processing.
            Transform base64 = new XmlDsigBase64Transform();

            //Create a transform chain and add the transform to it.
            TransformChain tc = new TransformChain();

            tc.Add(base64);

            //Create <CipherReference> information.
            CipherReference reference = new CipherReference(uri, tc);
            // Write the CipherReference value to the console.
            Console.WriteLine("Cipher Reference data: {0}", reference.GetXml().OuterXml);
        }
    }
}
