Identifies the activation context for the current application. This class cannot be inherited.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
The ActivationContext type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | ApplicationManifestBytes | Gets the ClickOnce application manifest for the current application. |
![]() | DeploymentManifestBytes | Gets the ClickOnce deployment manifest for the current application. |
![]() | Form | Gets the form, or store context, for the current application. |
![]() | Identity | Gets the application identity for the current application. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() ![]() | CreatePartialActivationContext(ApplicationIdentity) | Initializes a new instance of the ActivationContext class using the specified application identity. |
![]() ![]() | CreatePartialActivationContext(ApplicationIdentity, array<String>) | Initializes a new instance of the ActivationContext class using the specified application identity and array of manifest paths. |
![]() | Dispose | Releases all resources used by the ActivationContext. |
![]() | Equals(Object) | Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | Finalize | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | GetHashCode | Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() ![]() | ISerializable::GetObjectData | Infrastructure. Populates a SerializationInfo with the data needed to serialize the target object. |
The ActivationContext class contains an ApplicationIdentity and provides internal-only access to the application manifest. The activation context is used during manifest-based activation to set up the domain policy and provide an application-based security model. For more information, see the ApplicationSecurityManager class.
The following code example demonstrates the use of an ActivationContext object to obtain the ApplicationIdentity for a manifest-based application. For correct results, execute this code example as a manifest-based application.
