   XmlNode^ node = document->CreateNode( XmlNodeType::Element, "", "MyElement", "samples" );
   node->InnerText = "This is some text";
   document->AppendChild( node );
   Console::Error->WriteLine( "Data to sign:\n{0}\n", document->OuterXml );
   
   // Create the SignedXml message.
   SignedXml^ signedXml = gcnew SignedXml;

   // Create a data object to hold the data to sign.
   DataObject^ dataObject = gcnew DataObject;
   dataObject->Data = document->ChildNodes;
   dataObject->Id = "MyObjectId";

   // Add a KeyInfo.
   KeyInfo^ keyInfo = gcnew KeyInfo;
   keyInfo->AddClause( gcnew RSAKeyValue( key ) );
   signedXml->KeyInfo = keyInfo;
   
   // Compute the signature.
   signedXml->ComputeSignature();
   
   // Get the XML representation of the signature.

   Console::WriteLine( xmlSignature->OuterXml );

Remarks

The DataObject class is used with XML signatures. After you have initialized the DataObject, you can assign the Data and Id properties.

DataObject(String, String, String, XmlElement)

Source:

DataObject.cs

Initializes a new instance of the DataObject class with the specified identification, MIME type, encoding, and data.

public:
 DataObject(System::String ^ id, System::String ^ mimeType, System::String ^ encoding, System::Xml::XmlElement ^ data);

public DataObject (string id, string mimeType, string encoding, System.Xml.XmlElement data);

new System.Security.Cryptography.Xml.DataObject : string * string * string * System.Xml.XmlElement -> System.Security.Cryptography.Xml.DataObject

Public Sub New (id As String, mimeType As String, encoding As String, data As XmlElement)

Parameters

id

String

The identification to initialize the new instance of DataObject with.

mimeType

String

The MIME type of the data used to initialize the new instance of DataObject.

encoding

String

The encoding of the data used to initialize the new instance of DataObject.

data

XmlElement

The data to initialize the new instance of DataObject with.

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException

The data parameter is null.

Remarks

The DataObject class is used with XML signatures. The id parameter refers to the name of the element that contains the data to be used. The data parameter refers to the XML node list that contains the id parameter element.
