Try It!

  1. Ensure that you have completed all the procedures in Getting Started with XML Digital Signatures.
  2. Start Visual C++.
  3. From the File menu, select New. On the Projects tab of the New dialog box that appears, select Win32 Console Application in the left pane. Then type "setStoreHandleProj" in the Project name field. For the project Location field, either accept the default setting or choose another location. Click OK.
  4. The Win32 Console Application property page will appear. For the type of Console Application, select An empty project and click Finish. When the New Project Information box displays, click OK.
  5. Select FileView on the project browser, and highlight setStoreHandleProj files. From the File menu, select New.
  6. On the Files tab of the New dialog box, highlight C++ Source File. Then type "signature_template.setStoreHandle.rsa.xml" in the File name text box.
  7. Click OK.
  8. Copy the XML signature template file from Resource Files, and paste it into the text file you just created.
  9. Repeat steps 5-8 for the C++ file above (setStoreHandle.cpp).
  10. From the Project menu, click Settings..., then click the Link tab.
  11. In Object/library modules, type "crypt32.lib". Insert this text either before or after the existing string that lists all objects and modules for the current project. Then click OK.
  12. Build the sample by selecting Build setStoreHandleProj.exe from the Build menu.
  13. Execute the sample application by selecting !Execute setStoreHandleProj.exe from the Build menu.
  14. Verify that you output is similar to that listed in the Output topic.
