This class implements a simple, lightweight XML object model for encoding .NET security objects. A SecurityElement object represents a single XML element that can contain a tag, attributes, and text. To build a hierarchy of XML objects, add SecurityElement objects representing the child nodes to an existing SecurityElement object using its Children property or AddChild( ) method. The ToString( ) method returns a string containing the XML representation of the SecurityElement and all of its children.
