Methods

	Name	Description
	AddProperty(EncryptionProperty^)	Adds an <EncryptionProperty> child element to the <EncryptedProperties> element in the current EncryptedType object in XML encryption.(Inherited from EncryptedType.)
	Equals(Object^)	Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object.(Inherited from Object.)
	GetHashCode()	Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetType()	Gets the Type of the current instance.(Inherited from Object.)
	GetXml()	Returns the XML representation of the EncryptedData object.(Overrides EncryptedType::GetXml().)

	ToString()	Returns a string that represents the current object.(Inherited from Object.)

This class is used to represent the <EncryptedData> element in XML encryption. This element is the core element in XML encryption. Its child element, <CipherData>, contains encrypted data. The <EncryptedData> element replaces an encrypted element or serves as the new document root.
