Overrides Public Function Union( _
   ByVal other As IPermission _
) As IPermission Implements IPermission.Union
[C#]
public override IPermission Union(
 IPermission other
);
[C++]
public: IPermission* Union(
 IPermission* other
);
[JScript]
public override function Union(
   other : IPermission
) : IPermission;

Parameters

other

A permission to combine with the current permission. It must be of the same type as the current permission.

Return Value

A new permission that represents the union of the current permission and the specified permission.

Implements

IPermission.Union

Remarks

The result of a call to Union is a permission that represents all the operations represented by both the current permission and the specified permission. Any demand that passes either permission passes their union.
