DSASignatureFormatter.SetHashAlgorithm(String) Method

Definition

Namespace:

System.Security.Cryptography

Assembly:

System.Security.Cryptography.dll

Source:

DSASignatureFormatter.cs

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

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 formatter.

Exceptions

CryptographicUnexpectedOperationException

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