public abstract class CodeGroup

The CodeGroup type exposes the following members.

  Name Description
Protected method CodeGroup Initializes a new instance of CodeGroup.
Top
  Name Description
Public property AttributeString Gets a string representation of the attributes of the policy statement for the code group.
Public property Children Gets or sets an ordered list of the child code groups of a code group.
Public property Description Gets or sets the description of the code group.
Public property MembershipCondition Gets or sets the code group's membership condition.
Public property MergeLogic When overridden in a derived class, gets the merge logic for the code group.
Public property Name Gets or sets the name of the code group.
Public property PermissionSetName Gets the name of the named permission set for the code group.
Public property PolicyStatement Gets or sets the policy statement associated with the code group.

  Name Description
Public method AddChild Adds a child code group to the current code group.
Public method Copy When overridden in a derived class, makes a deep copy of the current code group.
Protected method CreateXml When overridden in a derived class, serializes properties and internal state specific to a derived code group and adds the serialization to the specified SecurityElement.
Public method Equals(Object) Determines whether the specified code group is equivalent to the current code group. (Overrides Object.Equals(Object).)
Public method Equals(CodeGroup, Boolean) Determines whether the specified code group is equivalent to the current code group, checking the child code groups as well, if specified.
Protected method Finalize Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method FromXml(SecurityElement) Reconstructs a security object with a given state from an XML encoding.
Public method FromXml(SecurityElement, PolicyLevel) Reconstructs a security object with a given state and policy level from an XML encoding.
Public method GetHashCode Gets the hash code of the current code group. (Overrides Object.GetHashCode().)
Public method GetType Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
Protected method MemberwiseClone Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
Protected method ParseXml When overridden in a derived class, reconstructs properties and internal state specific to a derived code group from the specified SecurityElement.
Public method RemoveChild Removes the specified child code group.
Public method Resolve When overridden in a derived class, resolves policy for the code group and its descendants for a set of evidence.
Public method ResolveMatchingCodeGroups When overridden in a derived class, resolves matching code groups.
Public method ToString Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method ToXml() Creates an XML encoding of the security object and its current state.
Public method ToXml(PolicyLevel) Creates an XML encoding of the security object, its current state, and the policy level within which the code exists.

Code groups are the building blocks of code access security policy. Each policy level consists of a root code group that can have child code groups. Each child code group can have their own child code groups; this behavior extends to any number of levels, forming a tree. Each code group has a membership condition that determines if a given assembly belongs to it based on the evidence for that assembly.

Only those code groups whose membership conditions match a given assembly's evidence will be applied. If a matching code group has child code groups, then those children whose membership conditions also match the supplied evidence will likewise be applied.
