       ConsumerFileLayerTypeKey="DR13E_GUID"
       Description="NEW Double Rot13 Encryption Description" 
       DisplayLabel="NEW Double Rot13 Encryption">
      <FgConsumerFileLayerParameterTypeList 
       TotalNumberOfRecords="2">
      <FgConsumerFileLayerParameterType 
       ConsumerFileLayerParameterTypeKey="DR13E_CH_GUID" 
       Description="NEW Encryption Charm Description" 
       DisplayLabel="NEW Encryption Charm"  
       ParameterName="NewEncryptionCharm"/>

       ConsumerFileLayerParameterTypeKey="DR13E_FF_GUID" 
       Description="NEW File name format" 
       DisplayLabel="NEW File name format"/>
      </FgConsumerFileLayerParameterTypeList>
