// This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

// First build a sample (but incomplete) GovTalkMessage.
// You can replace this code with a call to LoadXml or LoadXmlFile..
// 
// Note: The online tool at https://tools.chilkat.io/xmlCreate.cshtml
// can be used to generate XML code that creates a given XML document.
Dim xml As New Chilkat.Xml
xml.Tag = "GovTalkMessage"
Dim success As Boolean
success = xml.AddAttribute("xmlns","http://www.govtalk.gov.uk/CM/envelope")
success = xml.UpdateAttrAt("Body|Message",True,"xmlns","urn:g3.ge:dea:call:SendDocument:v1")
xml.UpdateChildContent "Body|Message","................"

// This is the XML created:
// <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
// <GovTalkMessage xmlns="http://www.govtalk.gov.uk/CM/envelope">
//     <Body>
//         <Message xmlns="urn:g3.ge:dea:call:SendDocument:v1">................</Message>
//     </Body>
// </GovTalkMessage>

System.DebugLog(xml.GetXml())

// Canonicalize the XML (using C14N)
Dim xdsig As New Chilkat.XmlDSig
Dim withComments As Boolean
withComments = False
Dim canonXml As String
canonXml = xdsig.CanonicalizeXml(xml.GetXml(),"C14N",withComments)

// Return the base64 SHA-1 HASH of the canonical XML.
Dim crypt As New Chilkat.Crypt2
crypt.HashAlgorithm = "sha1"
crypt.EncodingMode = "base64"
Dim irmark As String
irmark = crypt.HashStringENC(canonXml)

System.DebugLog("IRMark = " + irmark)
