SafeHandle.SetHandle Method
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
The following example demonstrates how to implement the SetHandle method. To reliably set a handle to a specified pre-existing handle, you must ensure that the allocation of the native handle and the subsequent recording of that handle within a SafeHandle object is atomic. Any failure between these operations (such as a thread abort or out of memory exception) will result in the native handle being leaked. The code example that follows shows how reliability can be achieved using a constrained execution region.
