![]() | GetObjectData(SerializationInfo^, StreamingContext) | Sets the SerializationInfo with information about the SecurityException.(Overrides Exception::GetObjectData(SerializationInfo^, StreamingContext).) |

![]() | MemberwiseClone() | |
![]() | ToString() | Returns a representation of the current SecurityException.(Overrides Exception::ToString().) |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | SerializeObjectState | Occurs when an exception is serialized to create an exception state object that contains serialized data about the exception.(Inherited from Exception.) |
A SecurityException exception is thrown when a caller does not have the permissions required to access a resource. The following example instantiates a PermissionSet object that includes a UIPermission object to allow access to UI objects and the Clipboard and a RegistryPermission object to prevent registry access. The call to the PermissionSet::PermitOnly method means that these permissions will apply regardless of the permissions assigned to the caller. As a result, the attempt to create a registry key throws a SecurityException.
SecurityException uses the HRESULT COR_E_SECURITY, which has the value 0x8013150A.
