KeyContainerPermission Class
Controls the ability to access key containers. This class cannot be inherited.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
The following code example shows the behavior of the KeyContainerPermission class methods.
Note: |
|---|
The code example is intended to show the behavior of the methods, not to demonstrate their use. In general, the methods of permission classes are used by the security infrastructure; they are not typically used in applications. Generally, only the constructors are used in application code. The created instance validates or controls resource access by using inherited CodeAccessPermission methods such as Demand. |
