The ConfigurationPermission type exposes the following members.

  Name Description
Public method ConfigurationPermission Initializes a new instance of the ConfigurationPermission class.
Top
  Name Description
Public method Assert Declares that the calling code can access the resource protected by a permission demand through the code that calls this method, even if callers higher in the stack have not been granted permission to access the resource. Using Assert can create security issues. (Inherited from CodeAccessPermission.)
Public method Copy Returns a new ConfigurationPermission object with the same permission level. (Overrides CodeAccessPermission.Copy().)
Public method Demand Forces a SecurityException at run time if all callers higher in the call stack have not been granted the permission specified by the current instance. (Inherited from CodeAccessPermission.)
Public method Deny Obsolete. Prevents callers higher in the call stack from using the code that calls this method to access the resource specified by the current instance. (Inherited from CodeAccessPermission.)
Public method Equals Determines whether the specified CodeAccessPermission object is equal to the current CodeAccessPermission. (Inherited from CodeAccessPermission.)
Protected method Finalize Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method FromXml Reads the value of the permission state from XML. (Overrides CodeAccessPermission.FromXml(SecurityElement).)
Public method GetHashCode Gets a hash code for the CodeAccessPermission object that is suitable for use in hashing algorithms and data structures such as a hash table. (Inherited from CodeAccessPermission.)
Public method GetType Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method Intersect Returns the logical intersection between the ConfigurationPermission object and a given object that implements the IPermission interface. (Overrides CodeAccessPermission.Intersect(IPermission).)
Public method IsSubsetOf Compares the ConfigurationPermission object with an object implementing the IPermission interface. (Overrides CodeAccessPermission.IsSubsetOf(IPermission).)
Public method IsUnrestricted Indicates whether the permission state for the ConfigurationPermission object is the Unrestricted value of the PermissionState enumeration.
Protected method MemberwiseClone Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method PermitOnly Prevents callers higher in the call stack from using the code that calls this method to access all resources except for the resource specified by the current instance. (Inherited from CodeAccessPermission.)
Public method ToString Creates and returns a string representation of the current permission object. (Inherited from CodeAccessPermission.)
Public method ToXml Returns a SecurityElement object with attribute values based on the current ConfigurationPermission object. (Overrides CodeAccessPermission.ToXml().)
Public method Union Returns the logical union of the ConfigurationPermission object and an object that implements the IPermission interface. (Overrides CodeAccessPermission.Union(IPermission).)

The ConfigurationPermission class provides a permission structure that allows methods or classes to access configuration files. Also, ConfigurationPermission provides ways to resolve multiple permissions values through such methods as Union and Intersect.
