In the .NET Framework version 2.0, this method returns security attributes on methods, constructors, and types if they are stored in the new metadata format. Assemblies compiled with version 2.0 use this format. Dynamic assemblies and assemblies compiled with earlier versions of the .NET Framework use the old XML format. See Emitting Declarative Security Attributes. |
