The Microsoft.Web.Services.Security.SignedXml class will be renamed in the Web Services Enhancements 2.0 final release (837377)

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Web Services Enhancements 2.0 for Microsoft .NET
Microsoft Web Services Enhancements 1.0 for Microsoft .NET

INTRODUCTION

The Microsoft.Web.Services.Security.SignedXml class will be renamed for the Web release of Microsoft Web Services Enhancements 2.0 (WSE 2.0) and will have specialized SOAP message security scenarios. The WSE 2.0 will have a changed implementation and API.

MORE INFORMATION

The Microsoft.Web.Services.Security.SignedXml class is not a replacement for the Microsoft .NET Framework System.Security.Cryptography.XML.SignedXml class. To address general XML signature scenarios outside the SOAP message security, you can use the System.Security.Cryptography.XML.SignedXml class instead of the WSE 1.0 or the WSE 2.0 Tech Preview version.
