WindowsIdentity.Token Property
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
The account token is usually retrieved through a call to unmanaged code, such as a call to the Win32 API LogonUser function. For more information on calls to unmanaged code, see Consuming Unmanaged DLL Functions. Do not explicitly release the account token. The token is released by the Dispose method that you can call in code or that is automatically called by the garbage collector.
The following code shows the use of the IsSystem property to get the Windows account token for the user. This code example is part of a larger example provided for the WindowsIdentity class.
IntPtr accountToken = WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().get_Token();
- SecurityPermission for the ability to access unmanaged code. Associated enumeration: SecurityPermissionFlag.UnmanagedCode.
