xml-dsig

I have an XML document having structure similar to the following

<envelop>
    <header>blaa</header>
    <message>blaa blaa</message>
    <footer></footer>
</envelop>

I want to digitally sign the header and message elements and add the signature to the footer element.

How can I sign the elements and then later verify the signature (using .net c#) ?
