Assembly:  mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
public void Demand()

Implements

IPermission.Demand()
Exception Condition
SecurityException

The current principal does not pass the security check for the principal specified by the current permission.

-or-

The current IPrincipal is null.

If no SecurityException is raised, Demand succeeds.

This method acts against the principal attached to the calling thread.

Important note Important

Before you call the Demand method, you must set the current application domain's principal policy to the enumeration value WindowsPrincipal. By default, the principal policy is set to UnauthenticatedPrincipal. If you do not set the principal policy to WindowsPrincipal, a demand for principal permission will fail. You should execute the following code before you demand the principal permission:

AppDomain.CurrentDomain.SetPrincipalPolicy(PrincipalPolicy.WindowsPrincipal).
