'Declaration
Public Function SignData ( _
    buffer As Byte(), _
    offset As Integer, _
    count As Integer _
) As Byte()

public byte[] SignData(
    byte[] buffer,
    int offset,
    int count
)

public:
array<unsigned char>^ SignData(
    array<unsigned char>^ buffer, 
    int offset, 
    int count
)

member SignData : 
        buffer:byte[] * 
        offset:int * 
        count:int -> byte[]

public function SignData(
    buffer : byte[], 
    offset : int, 
    count : int
) : byte[]

offset
Type: System. . :: . .Int32
The offset into the array from which to begin using data.

count
Type: System. . :: . .Int32
The number of bytes in the array to use as data.

Type: array<System. . :: . .Byte> [] () [] []
The DSA signature for the specified data.

This method creates a digital signature that is verified using the VerifyData method.

DSA uses the SHA1 hash algorithm.

Full trust for the immediate caller. This member cannot be used by partially trusted code. For more information, see dd66cd4c-b087-415f-9c3e-94e3a1835f74.
