Syntax

C++

[SerializableAttribute]
[ComVisibleAttribute(true)]
public ref class CodeGroup abstract

Constructors

	Name	Description
	CodeGroup(IMembershipCondition^, PolicyStatement^)	Initializes a new instance of CodeGroup.

Properties

	Name	Description
	AttributeString	Gets a string representation of the attributes of the policy statement for the code group.
	Children	Gets or sets an ordered list of the child code groups of a code group.
	Description	Gets or sets the description of the code group.
	MembershipCondition	Gets or sets the code group's membership condition.
	MergeLogic	When overridden in a derived class, gets the merge logic for the code group.
	Name	Gets or sets the name of the code group.
	PermissionSetName	Gets the name of the named permission set for the code group.
	PolicyStatement	Gets or sets the policy statement associated with the code group.

Methods

	Name	Description
	AddChild(CodeGroup^)	Adds a child code group to the current code group.
	Copy()	When overridden in a derived class, makes a deep copy of the current code group.
	CreateXml(SecurityElement^, PolicyLevel^)	When overridden in a derived class, serializes properties and internal state specific to a derived code group and adds the serialization to the specified SecurityElement.
	Equals(CodeGroup^, Boolean)	Determines whether the specified code group is equivalent to the current code group, checking the child code groups as well, if specified.
	Equals(Object^)	Determines whether the specified code group is equivalent to the current code group.(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.)
	FromXml(SecurityElement^)	Reconstructs a security object with a given state from an XML encoding.
	FromXml(SecurityElement^, PolicyLevel^)	Reconstructs a security object with a given state and policy level from an XML encoding.
	GetHashCode()	Gets the hash code of the current code group.(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.)
	ParseXml(SecurityElement^, PolicyLevel^)	When overridden in a derived class, reconstructs properties and internal state specific to a derived code group from the specified SecurityElement.
	RemoveChild(CodeGroup^)	Removes the specified child code group.
	Resolve(Evidence^)	When overridden in a derived class, resolves policy for the code group and its descendants for a set of evidence.
	ResolveMatchingCodeGroups(Evidence^)	When overridden in a derived class, resolves matching code groups.
	ToString()	Returns a string that represents the current object.(Inherited from Object.)
	ToXml()	Creates an XML encoding of the security object and its current state.
	ToXml(PolicyLevel^)	Creates an XML encoding of the security object, its current state, and the policy level within which the code exists.

Code groups are the building blocks of code access security policy. Each policy level consists of a root code group that can have child code groups. Each child code group can have their own child code groups; this behavior extends to any number of levels, forming a tree. Each code group has a membership condition that determines if a given assembly belongs to it based on the evidence for that assembly.

Only those code groups whose membership conditions match a given assembly's evidence will be applied. If a matching code group has child code groups, then those children whose membership conditions also match the supplied evidence will likewise be applied.
