SignedCode.Description property

[The Description property is available for use in the operating systems specified in the Requirements section. Instead, use Platform Invocation Services (PInvoke) to call the Win32 API SignerSignEx, SignerTimeStampEx, and WinVerifyTrust functions to sign content with an Authenticode digital signature. For information about PInvoke, see Platform Invoke Tutorial. The .NET and CryptoAPI via P/Invoke: Part 1 and .NET and CryptoAPI via P/Invoke: Part 2 subsections of Extending .NET Cryptography with CAPICOM and P/Invoke may also be helpful.]

The Description property sets or retrieves the description of the signed executable file.
