// Performs decryption.
public override XmlNode Decrypt(XmlNode encryptedNode)
{
    string decryptedData =
        DecryptString(encryptedNode.InnerText);

    XmlDocument xmlDoc = new XmlDocument();
    xmlDoc.PreserveWhitespace = true;
    xmlDoc.LoadXml(decryptedData);

    return xmlDoc.DocumentElement;
}

' Performs decryption.
Public Overrides Function Decrypt( _
ByVal encryptedNode As XmlNode) As XmlNode
    Dim decryptedData As String = _
    DecryptString(encryptedNode.InnerText)

    Dim xmlDoc As New XmlDocument()
    xmlDoc.PreserveWhitespace = True
    xmlDoc.LoadXml(decryptedData)

    Return xmlDoc.DocumentElement
End Function 'Decrypt
