How can i validate in .Net C# a SAML signature created in Java? Here is the SAML Signature that i get from Java:

  <ds:Signature xmlns:ds="http://www.w3.org/2000/09/xmldsig#">
    <ds:SignedInfo>
        <ds:CanonicalizationMethod Algorithm="http://www.w3.org/2001/10/xml-exc-c14n#">
        </ds:CanonicalizationMethod>
        <ds:SignatureMethod Algorithm="http://www.w3.org/2000/09/xmldsig#rsa-sha1">
        </ds:SignatureMethod>
        <ds:Reference URI="#_e8bcba9d1c76d128938bddd5ae8c68e1">
            <ds:Transforms>
                <ds:Transform Algorithm="http://www.w3.org/2000/09/xmldsig#enveloped-signature">
                </ds:Transform>
                <ds:Transform Algorithm="http://www.w3.org/2001/10/xml-exc-c14n#">
                    <ec:InclusiveNamespaces xmlns:ec="http://www.w3.org/2001/10/xml-exc-c14n#" PrefixList="code ds kind rw saml samlp typens #default xsd xsi">
                    </ec:InclusiveNamespaces>
                </ds:Transform>
            </ds:Transforms>
            <ds:DigestMethod Algorithm="http://www.w3.org/2000/09/xmldsig#sha1">
            </ds:DigestMethod>
            <ds:DigestValue>zEL7mB0Wkl+LtjMViO1imbucXiE=</ds:DigestValue>
        </ds:Reference>

            </ds:X509Certificate>
        </ds:X509Data>
    </ds:KeyInfo>
</ds:Signature>

I know to parse SAML, i need to validate the signature. I tried this:

public bool VerifySignature()
{
    X509Certificate2 certificate = null;

    XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
    XmlElement xmlAssertionElement = this.GetXml(doc);
    doc.AppendChild(xmlAssertionElement);

    // Create a new SignedXml object and pass it
    // the XML document class.
    SamlSignedXml signedXml = new SamlSignedXml(xmlAssertionElement);

    // Get signature
    XmlElement xmlSignature = this.Signature;
    if (xmlSignature == null)
    {
        return false;
    }

    // Load the signature node.
    signedXml.LoadXml(xmlSignature);

    // Get the certificate used to sign the assertion if information about this 
    // certificate is available in the signature of the assertion.
    foreach (KeyInfoClause clause in signedXml.KeyInfo)
    {
        if (clause is KeyInfoX509Data)
        {
            if (((KeyInfoX509Data)clause).Certificates.Count > 0)
            {
                certificate = (X509Certificate2)((KeyInfoX509Data)clause).Certificates[0];
            }
        }
    }

    if (certificate == null)
    {
        return false;
    }

    return signedXml.CheckSignature(certificate, true);
  }

It validates the signature of a SAML signed in .Net but not of this Java one.
