public DicomElement FindSignature( 
   string signatureUID
)

'Declaration
 
Public Function FindSignature( _
   ByVal signatureUID As String _
) As DicomElement

'Usage
 
Dim instance As DicomDataSet
Dim signatureUID As String
Dim value As DicomElement
 
value = instance.FindSignature(signatureUID)

public DicomElement FindSignature( 
   string signatureUID
)

 function Leadtools.Dicom.DicomDataSet.FindSignature( 
   signatureUID 
)

public:
DicomElement^ FindSignature( 
   String^ signatureUID
)

Parameters

signatureUID: Character string that contains the Digital Signature UID of the Digital Signature for which to search.

Return Value

The Digital Signatures Sequence Item that corresponds to the Digital Signature with the specified Digital Signature UID, or a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) if no such Digital Signature was found in the Data Set.

Each Digital Signature should be uniquely identified by a UID specified by the Digital Signature UID (0400,0100) under the corresponding Digital Signatures Sequence Item. Call this method to search the whole Data Set for a Digital Signature by its Digital Signature UID.

Once the Digital Signatures Sequence Item is obtained, the following methods can be used to verify, delete, or get information about the Digital Signature:

GetSignedElementsCount

Call the GetSignaturesCount and GetSignature methods to enumerate the Digital Signatures in the main Data Set or in an item of a Sequence of Items.
