Methods

  Name Description
Public methodSupported by Silverlight for Windows Phone CreateSignature(array<Byte[]) When overridden in a derived class, creates the signature for the specified data.
Public methodSupported by Silverlight for Windows Phone CreateSignature(HashAlgorithm) Creates the signature from the specified hash value.
Public methodSupported by Silverlight for Windows Phone Equals(Object) Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
Protected methodSupported by Silverlight for Windows Phone Finalize Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before the Object is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.)
Public methodSupported by Silverlight for Windows Phone GetHashCode Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.)
Public methodSupported by Silverlight for Windows Phone GetType Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
Protected methodSupported by Silverlight for Windows Phone MemberwiseClone Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
Public methodSupported by Silverlight for Windows Phone SetHashAlgorithm When overridden in a derived class, sets the hash algorithm to use for creating the signature.
Public methodSupported by Silverlight for Windows Phone SetKey When overridden in a derived class, sets the asymmetric algorithm to use to create the signature.
Public methodSupported by Silverlight for Windows Phone ToString Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.)
