.NET Framework (current version)

Represents an Access Control Entry (ACE), and is the base class for all other ACE classes.

Namespace: System.Security.AccessControl
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

Inheritance Hierarchy

System::Object

Syntax

C++

public ref class GenericAce abstract

Properties

	Name	Description
	AceFlags	Gets or sets the AceFlags associated with this GenericAce object.
	AceType	Gets the type of this Access Control Entry (ACE).
	AuditFlags	Gets the audit information associated with this Access Control Entry (ACE).
	BinaryLength	Gets the length, in bytes, of the binary representation of the current GenericAce object. This length should be used before marshaling the ACL into a binary array with the GetBinaryForm method.
	InheritanceFlags	Gets flags that specify the inheritance properties of this Access Control Entry (ACE).
	IsInherited	Gets a Boolean value that specifies whether this Access Control Entry (ACE) is inherited or is set explicitly.
	PropagationFlags	Gets flags that specify the inheritance propagation properties of this Access Control Entry (ACE).

Methods

	Name	Description
	Copy()	Creates a deep copy of this Access Control Entry (ACE).
	CreateFromBinaryForm(array<Byte>^, Int32)	Creates a GenericAce object from the specified binary data.
	Equals(Object^)	Determines whether the specified GenericAce object is equal to the current GenericAce object.(Overrides Object::Equals(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.)
	GetBinaryForm(array<Byte>^, Int32)	Marshals the contents of the GenericAce object into the specified byte array beginning at the specified offset.
	GetHashCode()	Serves as a hash function for the GenericAce class. The GetHashCode method is suitable for use in hashing algorithms and data structures like a hash table.(Overrides Object::GetHashCode().)
	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.)

Operators

	Name	Description
	Equality(GenericAce^, GenericAce^)	Determines whether the specified GenericAce objects are considered equal.
	Inequality(GenericAce^, GenericAce^)	Determines whether the specified GenericAce objects are considered unequal.

Remarks

An ACE contains both an ACE header and a binary blob. The header contains information about the type of the ACE, various flags, and the size of the binary blob.
