	Hello - 

	I have a few layers to my application and I'm hoping I can pass around the Assertions as a string or XmlDocument.  However, in doing so the Validate() method always returns false.  Here is a quick bit of code that illustrates my issue:

	[code lang='c#']

	Atp.Saml2.Response fromRequest = Atp.Saml2.Response.Create(Request);

	// This returns true

	if (!fromRequest.Validate(cert))

	    throw new ApplicationException("The SAML response signature failed to verify with public certificate");

	 

	Atp.Saml2.Response fromXml = new Atp.Saml2.Response(fromRequest.GetXml());

	// This returns false

	if (!fromXml.Validate(cert))

	    throw new ApplicationException("The SAML response signature failed to verify with public certificate");

	 

	Atp.Saml2.Response fromString = new Atp.Saml2.Response(fromRequest.ToBase64String());

	// This returns false

	if (!fromString.Validate(cert))

	    throw new ApplicationException("The SAML response signature failed to verify with public certificate");

	[/code]

	Should this work?  Seems there might be a bug in the Response constructors.

	Any thoughts/guidance are much apprciated.

	Thanks!
