TypeBuilder.AddDeclarativeSecurity(SecurityAction, PermissionSet) Method

Definition

Adds declarative security to this type.

public:
 void AddDeclarativeSecurity(System::Security::Permissions::SecurityAction action, System::Security::PermissionSet ^ pset);
public void AddDeclarativeSecurity (System.Security.Permissions.SecurityAction action, System.Security.PermissionSet pset);
member this.AddDeclarativeSecurity : System.Security.Permissions.SecurityAction * System.Security.PermissionSet -> unit
Public Sub AddDeclarativeSecurity (action As SecurityAction, pset As PermissionSet)

Parameters

action
SecurityAction

The security action to be taken such as Demand, Assert, and so on.

pset
PermissionSet

The set of permissions the action applies to.

Exceptions

The action is invalid (RequestMinimum, RequestOptional, and RequestRefuse are invalid).

The containing type has been created using CreateType().

-or-

The permission set pset contains an action that was added earlier by AddDeclarativeSecurity.

pset is null.

Examples

The following example demonstrates the use of the AddDeclarativeSecurity method to add a security demand for SecurityPermission with the SecurityPermissionFlag.ControlEvidence flag to a dynamic type named MyDynamicClass, in an assembly named EmittedExample.dll. The example produces no console output; after you run it, you can use Ildasm.exe (IL Disassembler) to examine EmittedExample.dll. In MyDynamicClass, open the .class public auto ansi statement to see the declarative permission.

int main()
{
   // Create a simple name for the assembly; create the assembly and module.
   AssemblyName^ myAssemblyName = gcnew AssemblyName("EmittedAssembly");
   AssemblyBuilder^ myAssemblyBuilder = 
       AppDomain::CurrentDomain->DefineDynamicAssembly( myAssemblyName, AssemblyBuilderAccess::RunAndSave );
   ModuleBuilder^ myModuleBuilder = 
       myAssemblyBuilder->DefineDynamicModule( "EmittedAssembly", "EmittedAssembly.dll");
   
   // Define a public class named "MyDynamicClass" in the assembly.
   TypeBuilder^ myTypeBuilder = myModuleBuilder->DefineType( "MyDynamicClass", TypeAttributes::Public );
   

   // Create a permission set and add a security permission
   // with the ControlEvidence flag.
   //
   PermissionSet^ myPermissionSet = gcnew PermissionSet(PermissionState::None);
   myPermissionSet->AddPermission(
      gcnew SecurityPermission(SecurityPermissionFlag::ControlEvidence));

   // Add the permission set to the MyDynamicClass type,
   // as a declarative security demand.
   //
   myTypeBuilder->AddDeclarativeSecurity(SecurityAction::Demand, myPermissionSet);

Remarks

AddDeclarativeSecurity may be called several times with each call specifying a security action (such as Demand, Assert, or Deny) and a set of permissions that apply to the action.

Note

In the .NET Framework versions 1.0, 1.1, and 2.0, the declarative security attributes applied to a type by using this method are stored in the old XML metadata format.
