Hi all,

I need to make an Xml Signature (System.Security.Cryptography.Xml.SignedXml)
of an XmlDocument and then to include the signature into that XmlDocument.

Example:
    <XmlSign>
         <Identity id="ToBeSigned">
            <Name>myName</Name>
            <Surname>mySignature</Surname>
        </Identity>
        <IdentitySignature>
            *SignedXml*
        </IdentitySignature>
     <XmlSign>

The solution would be to create a SignedXml object and insert it
<IdentitySignature>, to set the correct references and then to compute the
signature. But I can't to that because the XML element of SignedXml can't be
accessed before computing the signature ...

So how can I solve that problem?
Any comment would be appreciated,

Thanks

J-P
