public sealed class SecurityPermissionAttribute : CodeAccessSecurityAttribute

The SecurityPermissionAttribute type exposes the following members.

  Name Description
Public method SecurityPermissionAttribute Initializes a new instance of the SecurityPermissionAttribute class with the specified SecurityAction.

  Name Description
Explicit interface implemetation Private method _Attribute.GetIDsOfNames Maps a set of names to a corresponding set of dispatch identifiers. (Inherited from Attribute.)
Explicit interface implemetation Private method _Attribute.GetTypeInfo Retrieves the type information for an object, which can be used to get the type information for an interface. (Inherited from Attribute.)
Explicit interface implemetation Private method _Attribute.GetTypeInfoCount Retrieves the number of type information interfaces that an object provides (either 0 or 1). (Inherited from Attribute.)
Explicit interface implemetation Private method _Attribute.Invoke Provides access to properties and methods exposed by an object. (Inherited from Attribute.)

The scope of the declaration that is allowed depends on the SecurityAction that is used.

The security information declared by a security attribute is stored in the metadata of the attribute target and is accessed by the system at run time. Security attributes are used only for declarative security. For imperative security, use the corresponding permission class.

When you use the SecurityPermissionAttribute class, follow the security action with the permission(s) that are being requested. Each security permission that can be requested, as defined in the SecurityPermissionFlag enumeration, has a corresponding property in the SecurityPermissionAttribute class. For example, to demand the ability to access unmanaged code, follow the demand statement with the property setting that is being requested, as follows: SecurityPermissionAttribute(SecurityAction.Demand, UnmanagedCode=true).

Note Note

An exception to the equivalence between the SecurityPermissionFlag enumeration and the SecurityPermissionAttribute properties is that the AllFlags enumeration value is represented by the Unrestricted property (inherited from the SecurityAttribute class). To demand all security permissions, specify Unrestricted=true.
