CipherReference Constructors

Definition

Namespace:

System.Security.Cryptography.Xml

Assembly:

System.Security.Cryptography.Xml.dll

Initializes a new instance of the CipherReference class.

Overloads

CipherReference()	Initializes a new instance of the CipherReference class.
CipherReference(String)	Initializes a new instance of the CipherReference class using the specified Uniform Resource Identifier (URI).
CipherReference(String, TransformChain)	Initializes a new instance of the CipherReference class using the specified Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) and transform chain information.

Remarks

This constructor creates a CipherReference object that provides reference information for a CipherData object. The reference information provides the location of the encrypted data.

CipherReference()

Initializes a new instance of the CipherReference class.

public:
 CipherReference();

public CipherReference ();

Public Sub New ()

Remarks

This constructor creates a CipherReference object using a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) that points to the encrypted data. The object is then used to provide reference information for a CipherData object.

You can use a URI to designate an XML file containing encrypted data. For example:

String uri = "http://www.woodgrovebank.com/document.xml";

You can also use a partial URI to designate that only a portion of an XML document is to be encrypted. For example, assume that an XML document named document.xml contains two MyForm elements as shown in the following XML code example:

<MyForm Id='Form1'>

<! -- Form data here -->

</MyForm>

<MyForm Id='Form2'>

<! -- Form data here -->

</MyForm>

You can encrypt only the content in Form2 using a URI such as the following:

String uri = "http://www.woodgrovebank.com/document.xml#Form2";

CipherReference(String, TransformChain)

Initializes a new instance of the CipherReference class using the specified Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) and transform chain information.

public:
 CipherReference(System::String ^ uri, System::Security::Cryptography::Xml::TransformChain ^ transformChain);

public CipherReference (string uri, System.Security.Cryptography.Xml.TransformChain transformChain);

new System.Security.Cryptography.Xml.CipherReference : string * System.Security.Cryptography.Xml.TransformChain -> System.Security.Cryptography.Xml.CipherReference

Public Sub New (uri As String, transformChain As TransformChain)

Parameters

uri

String

A Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) pointing to the encrypted data.

transformChain

TransformChain

A TransformChain object that describes transforms to do on the encrypted data.

Remarks

This constructor creates a CipherReference object using a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) and transform chain to indicate the encrypted data. The object is then used to provide reference information for a CipherData object.
