CipherData Constructors

Definition

Namespace:

System.Security.Cryptography.Xml

Assembly:

System.Security.Cryptography.Xml.dll

Initializes a new instance of the CipherData class.

Overloads

CipherData()	Initializes a new instance of the CipherData class.
CipherData(Byte[])	Initializes a new instance of the CipherData class using a byte array as the CipherValue value.
CipherData(CipherReference)	Initializes a new instance of the CipherData class using a CipherReference object.

CipherData()

Source:

CipherData.cs

Initializes a new instance of the CipherData class.

public:
 CipherData();

public CipherData ();

Public Sub New ()

Examples

The following code example shows how to create a new instance of the CipherData class. The entire sample can be found in the CipherData class topic.

// Create a new CipherData object.
CipherData^ cipher = gcnew CipherData();
// Assign a byte array to be the CipherValue. This is a
// byte array representing encrypted data.
cipher->CipherValue = gcnew array<Byte>(8);

// Create a new CipherData object.
CipherData cd = new CipherData();
// Assign a byte array to be the CipherValue. This is a byte array representing encrypted data.
cd.CipherValue = new byte[8];

' Create a new CipherData object.
Dim cd As New CipherData
' Assign a byte array to the CipherValue.
cd.CipherValue = New Byte(7) {}

Remarks

This constructor creates a CipherData object that represents the <CipherData> element in XML encryption. The <CipherData> element is a required element in XML encryption.

CipherData(Byte[])

Source:

CipherData.cs

Initializes a new instance of the CipherData class using a byte array as the CipherValue value.

public:
 CipherData(cli::array <System::Byte> ^ cipherValue);

public CipherData (byte[] cipherValue);

new System.Security.Cryptography.Xml.CipherData : byte[] -> System.Security.Cryptography.Xml.CipherData

Public Sub New (cipherValue As Byte())

Parameters

cipherValue

Byte[]

The encrypted data to use for the <CipherValue> element.

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException

The cipherValue parameter is null.

CryptographicException

The CipherValue property has already been set.

Examples

The following code example shows how to create a new instance of the CipherData class.

// Create a new CipherData object using a byte array to represent encrypted data.
array<Byte>^sampledata = gcnew array<Byte>(8);
CipherData ^ cd = gcnew CipherData( sampledata );

// Create a new CipherData object using a byte array to represent encrypted data.
Byte[] sampledata = new byte[8];
CipherData cd = new CipherData(sampledata);

    ' Create a new CipherData object using a byte array to represent encrypted data.
Dim sampledata(7) As Byte
    Dim cd As New CipherData(sampledata)

Remarks

This constructor creates a CipherData object that represents the <CipherData> element in XML encryption. The constructor assigns the cipherValue value to the CipherValue property as the actual encrypted data.

Note

The <CipherData> element can have either a CipherReference or a CipherValue child element, but not both. A CryptographicException is thrown if both are assigned to a CipherData object.

CipherData(CipherReference)

Source:

CipherData.cs

Initializes a new instance of the CipherData class using a CipherReference object.

public:
 CipherData(System::Security::Cryptography::Xml::CipherReference ^ cipherReference);

public CipherData (System.Security.Cryptography.Xml.CipherReference cipherReference);

new System.Security.Cryptography.Xml.CipherData : System.Security.Cryptography.Xml.CipherReference -> System.Security.Cryptography.Xml.CipherData

Public Sub New (cipherReference As CipherReference)

Parameters

cipherReference

CipherReference

The CipherReference object to use.

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException

The cipherValue parameter is null.

CryptographicException

The CipherValue property has already been set.

Examples

The following code example shows how to create a new instance of the CipherData class using CipherReference information.

Remarks

This constructor creates a CipherData object that represents the <CipherData> element in XML encryption and assigns the cipherReference value to the CipherReference property. The CipherReference object represents the <CipherReference> element, which provides the location of the encrypted data.

Note

A CipherData object can have either a CipherReference property or a CipherValue property, but not both. A CryptographicException is thrown if both are assigned to a CipherData object.
