ActivationContext Class

Note: This class is new in the .NET Framework version 2.0.

Identifies the activation context for the current application. This class cannot be inherited.

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

'Declaration
<SerializableAttribute> _
<ComVisibleAttribute(False)> _
Public NotInheritable Class ActivationContext
	Implements IDisposable, ISerializable
'Usage
Dim instance As ActivationContext

/** @attribute SerializableAttribute() */ 
/** @attribute ComVisibleAttribute(false) */ 
public final class ActivationContext implements IDisposable, ISerializable
SerializableAttribute 
ComVisibleAttribute(false) 
public final class ActivationContext implements IDisposable, ISerializable

The ActivationContext class contains an ApplicationIdentity and provides internal-only access to the application manifest. The activation context is used during manifest-based activation to set up the domain policy and provide an application-based security model. For more information, see the ApplicationSecurityManager class.

The following code example demonstrates the use of an ActivationContext object to obtain the ApplicationIdentity for a manifest-based application. For correct results, execute this code example as a manifest-based application.
