Namespace: System.Runtime.ExceptionServices
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration)

<AttributeUsageAttribute(AttributeTargets.Method, AllowMultiple := False, Inherited := False)> _
Public NotInheritable Class HandleProcessCorruptedStateExceptionsAttribute _
    Inherits Attribute

Visual Basic (Usage)

Dim instance As HandleProcessCorruptedStateExceptionsAttribute

[AttributeUsageAttribute(AttributeTargets.Method, AllowMultiple = false, Inherited = false)]
public sealed class HandleProcessCorruptedStateExceptionsAttribute : Attribute

Visual C++

[AttributeUsageAttribute(AttributeTargets::Method, AllowMultiple = false, Inherited = false)]
public ref class HandleProcessCorruptedStateExceptionsAttribute sealed : public Attribute

[<SealedAttribute>]
[<AttributeUsageAttribute(AttributeTargets.Method, AllowMultiple = false, Inherited = false)>]
type HandleProcessCorruptedStateExceptionsAttribute =  
    class
        inherit Attribute
    end

Remarks

Note
Use this attribute only when absolutely necessary.

Beginning with the .NET Framework version 4 Beta 2, the CLR no longer delivers corrupted state exceptions that occur in the operating system (and managed code), such as access violations in Windows, to be handled by managed code.

If you want to compile an application in the .NET Framework 4 Beta 2 (or later) and maintain handling of corrupted state exceptions, you can apply this attribute to the method that handles the corrupted state exception. Alternatively, you can add the following setting to the application's configuration file:

legacyCorruptedStateExceptionsPolicy=true
