public ref class XmlDsigBase64Transform : Transform

NameDescription
System_CAPS_pubmethodXmlDsigBase64Transform()

Initializes a new instance of the XmlDsigBase64Transform class.

NameDescription
System_CAPS_pubpropertyAlgorithm

Gets or sets the Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) that identifies the algorithm performed by the current transform.(Inherited from Transform.)

System_CAPS_pubpropertyContext

Gets or sets an XmlElement object that represents the document context under which the current Transform object is running. (Inherited from Transform.)

System_CAPS_pubpropertyInputTypes

Gets an array of types that are valid inputs to the LoadInput method of the current XmlDsigBase64Transform object.(Overrides Transform::InputTypes.)

System_CAPS_pubpropertyOutputTypes

Gets an array of types that are possible outputs from the GetOutput methods of the current XmlDsigBase64Transform object.(Overrides Transform::OutputTypes.)

System_CAPS_pubpropertyPropagatedNamespaces

Gets or sets a Hashtable object that contains the namespaces that are propagated into the signature. (Inherited from Transform.)

System_CAPS_pubpropertyResolver

Sets the current XmlResolver object.(Inherited from Transform.)

NameDescription
System_CAPS_pubmethodEquals(Object^)

Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object.(Inherited from Object.)

System_CAPS_protmethodFinalize()

Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection.(Inherited from Object.)

System_CAPS_pubmethodGetDigestedOutput(HashAlgorithm^)

When overridden in a derived class, returns the digest associated with a Transform object. (Inherited from Transform.)

System_CAPS_pubmethodGetHashCode()

Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object.)

System_CAPS_protmethodGetInnerXml()

Returns an XML representation of the parameters of the XmlDsigBase64Transform object that are suitable to be included as subelements of an XMLDSIG <Transform> element.(Overrides Transform::GetInnerXml().)

System_CAPS_pubmethodGetOutput()

Returns the output of the current XmlDsigBase64Transform object.(Overrides Transform::GetOutput().)

System_CAPS_pubmethodGetOutput(Type^)

Returns the output of the current XmlDsigBase64Transform object of type Stream.(Overrides Transform::GetOutput(Type^).)

System_CAPS_pubmethodGetType()

Gets the Type of the current instance.(Inherited from Object.)

System_CAPS_pubmethodGetXml()

Returns the XML representation of the current Transform object.(Inherited from Transform.)

System_CAPS_pubmethodLoadInnerXml(XmlNodeList^)

Parses the specified XmlNodeList object as transform-specific content of a <Transform> element; this method is not supported because the XmlDsigBase64Transform object has no inner XML elements.(Overrides Transform::LoadInnerXml(XmlNodeList^).)

System_CAPS_pubmethodLoadInput(Object^)

Loads the specified input into the current XmlDsigBase64Transform object.(Overrides Transform::LoadInput(Object^).)

System_CAPS_protmethodMemberwiseClone()

Creates a shallow copy of the current Object.(Inherited from Object.)

System_CAPS_pubmethodToString()

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

Use the XmlDsigBase64Transform object when you need to sign the raw data associated with the encoded content of an element.

The Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) that describes the XmlDsigBase64Transform object is defined by the XmlDsigBase64TransformUrl field.

For more information about the Base64 decoding transform, see Section 6.6.2 of the XMLDSIG specification, which is available from the W3C at www.w3.org/TR/xmldsig-core/.
