Syntax

C++

public abstract class GenericAce

The GenericAce type exposes the following members.

Properties

	Name	Description
	AceFlags	Gets or sets the AceFlags associated with this GenericAce object.
	AceType	Gets the type of this Access Control Entry (ACE).
	AuditFlags	Gets the audit information associated with this Access Control Entry (ACE).
	BinaryLength	Gets the length, in bytes, of the binary representation of the current GenericAce object. This length should be used before marshaling the ACL into a binary array with the GetBinaryForm method.
	InheritanceFlags	Gets flags that specify the inheritance properties of this Access Control Entry (ACE).
	IsInherited	Gets a Boolean value that specifies whether this Access Control Entry (ACE) is inherited or is set explicitly.
	PropagationFlags	Gets flags that specify the inheritance propagation properties of this Access Control Entry (ACE).

Methods

	Name	Description
	Copy	Creates a deep copy of this Access Control Entry (ACE).
	CreateFromBinaryForm	Creates a GenericAce object from the specified binary data.
	Equals	Determines whether the specified GenericAce object is equal to the current GenericAce object. (Overrides Object.Equals(Object).)
	Finalize	Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetBinaryForm	Marshals the contents of the GenericAce object into the specified byte array beginning at the specified offset.
	GetHashCode	Serves as a hash function for the GenericAce class. The GetHashCode method is suitable for use in hashing algorithms and data structures like a hash table. (Overrides Object.GetHashCode().)
	GetType	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
	MemberwiseClone	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
	ToString	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.)

	Equality	Determines whether the specified GenericAce objects are considered equal.
	Inequality	Determines whether the specified GenericAce objects are considered unequal.

Remarks

An ACE contains both an ACE header and a binary blob. The header contains information about the type of the ACE, various flags, and the size of the binary blob.
