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

// We begin with this message:

// <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
// <Saa:DataPDU xmlns:Saa="urn:swift:saa:xsd:saa.2.0" xmlns:Sw="urn:swift:snl:ns.Sw"

// And we want so sign to create this as the result:
// The signed XML we'll create will not be indented and pretty-printed like this.
// Instead, we'll use the "CompactSignedXml" behavior to produce compact single-line XML.
