public ref class AsymmetricSignatureFormatter abstract

	Name	Description
	AsymmetricSignatureFormatter()	Initializes a new instance of AsymmetricSignatureFormatter.

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

Asymmetric signature formatters create digital signatures that are verified using implementations of AsymmetricSignatureDeformatter.
