 abstract void SetKey(System::Security::Cryptography::AsymmetricAlgorithm ^ key);

public abstract void SetKey (System.Security.Cryptography.AsymmetricAlgorithm key);

abstract member SetKey : System.Security.Cryptography.AsymmetricAlgorithm -> unit

Public MustOverride Sub SetKey (key As AsymmetricAlgorithm)

Parameters

key

AsymmetricAlgorithm
