The approach we used was to subclass System.Security.Cryptography.Xml.SignedXml
class…
public class SignedXmlWithId : SignedXml
{
public SignedXmlWithId(XmlDocument xml) : base(xml)
{
}
public SignedXmlWithId(XmlElement xmlElement)
: base(xmlElement)
{
}
public override XmlElement GetIdElement(XmlDocument doc, string id)
{
// check to see if it's a standard ID reference
XmlElement idElem = base.GetIdElement(doc, id);
if (idElem == null)
{
XmlNamespaceManager nsManager = new XmlNamespaceManager(doc.NameTable);
nsManager.AddNamespace("wsu", "http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-utility-1.0.xsd");
idElem = doc.SelectSingleNode("//*[@wsu:Id=\"" + id + "\"]", nsManager) as XmlElement;
}
return idElem;
}
}
