| Member name | Description |
|---|
| MayCorruptProcess | In the face of exceptional conditions, the CLR makes no guarantees regarding state consistency; that is, the condition might corrupt the process. |
| MayCorruptAppDomain | In the face of exceptional conditions, the common language runtime (CLR) makes no guarantees regarding state consistency in the current application domain. |
| MayCorruptInstance | In the face of exceptional conditions, the method is guaranteed to limit state corruption to the current instance. |
| WillNotCorruptState | In the face of exceptional conditions, the method is guaranteed not to corrupt state. .gif) Note:This does not guarantee that the method will never fail; however, it does guarantee that such a failure will never corrupt state. |
The Consistency enumeration is used as a parameter to the ReliabilityContractAttribute attribute to specify the reliability guarantee on a given method.
The following code example demonstrates the use of the Consistency 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;
}
