Definition

Namespace:
System.Security.Cryptography
Assemblies:
mscorlib.dll, netstandard.dll, System.Security.Cryptography.Algorithms.dll

When overridden in a derived class, sets the asymmetric algorithm to use to create the signature.

public:
 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

The instance of the implementation of AsymmetricAlgorithm to use to create the signature.

Remarks

You must set a key before calling an implementation of CreateSignature.
