EncryptedXml.ReplaceData Method

Replaces an <EncryptedData> element with a specified decrypted sequence of bytes.

Namespace:  System.Security.Cryptography.Xml
Assembly:  System.Security (in System.Security.dll)
public void ReplaceData(
	XmlElement inputElement,
	byte[] decryptedData
)

Parameters

inputElement
Type: System.Xml.XmlElement

The <EncryptedData> element to replace.

decryptedData
Type: System.Byte[]

The decrypted data to replace inputElement with.

ExceptionCondition
ArgumentNullException

The value of the inputElement parameter is null.

-or-

The value of the decryptedData parameter is null.

The ReplaceData method replaces an <EncryptedData> element with the value of the decryptedData parameter.

The following code example demonstrates how to encrypt an XML document using a symmetric key. This example does not include any key information in the encrypted XML document.
