RegistryPermissionAttribute Class
Allows security actions for RegistryPermission to be applied to code using declarative security. This class cannot be inherited.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
'Declaration <SerializableAttribute> _ <ComVisibleAttribute(True)> _ <AttributeUsageAttribute(AttributeTargets.Assembly Or AttributeTargets.Class Or AttributeTargets.Struct Or AttributeTargets.Constructor Or AttributeTargets.Method, AllowMultiple := True, _ Inherited := False)> _ Public NotInheritable Class RegistryPermissionAttribute _ Inherits CodeAccessSecurityAttribute 'Usage Dim instance As RegistryPermissionAttribute
The scope of the declaration that is allowed depends on the SecurityAction that is used.
The security information declared by a security attribute is stored in the metadata of the attribute target and is accessed by the system at run time. Security attributes are used only for declarative security. For imperative security, use the corresponding permission class.
The following example of a declarative attribute shows the correct way to request RegistryPermission for access to the given registry value and states that you must have at least this permission to run your code.
The following example shows how to demand that the calling code has unrestricted RegistryPermission at link time. Demands are typically made in managed libraries (DLLs) to help protect methods or classes from potentially harmful code.
