The Cer enumeration specifies the behavior of a method, type, or assembly within a constrained execution region (CER). Use one of the three available values to indicate that the entity will succeed, has no knowledge of a CER, or might (deterministically) be able to report success or failure.

A CER provides guarantees that the region of code will execute uninterrupted even if an asynchronous exception such as an aborted thread out-of-memory exception, or stack overflow is raised.

The following code example demonstrates the use of the Cer enumeration when specifying a constrained execution region for a method. This code example is part of a larger example provided for the ReliabilityContractAttribute constructor.

[ReliabilityContract(Consistency.WillNotCorruptState, Cer.Success)]
[MethodImpl(MethodImplOptions.NoInlining)]
void StackDepth2()
{
    try
    {
        consistentLevel2 = false;
        if (depth == 2)
            Thread.Sleep(-1);
        StackDepth3();
    }
    finally
    {
        consistentLevel2 = true;
    }
}
