Microsoft.Win32.SafeHandles
Namespace
The Microsoft.Win32.SafeHandles namespace contains classes that are abstract derivations of safe handle classes that provide common functionality supporting file and operating system handles.
Classes
| CriticalHandleMinusOneIsInvalid |
Provides a base class for Win32 critical handle implementations in which the value of -1 indicates an invalid handle. |
| CriticalHandleZeroOrMinusOneIsInvalid |
Provides a base class for Win32 critical handle implementations in which the value of either 0 or -1 indicates an invalid handle. |
| SafeAccessTokenHandle |
Provides a safe handle to a Windows thread or process access token. For more information see Access Tokens |
| SafeFileHandle |
Represents a wrapper class for a file handle. |
| SafeHandleMinusOneIsInvalid |
Provides a base class for Win32 safe handle implementations in which the value of -1 indicates an invalid handle. |
| SafeHandleZeroOrMinusOneIsInvalid |
Provides a base class for Win32 safe handle implementations in which the value of either 0 or -1 indicates an invalid handle. |
| SafeMemoryMappedFileHandle |
Provides a safe handle that represents a memory-mapped file for sequential access. |
| SafeMemoryMappedViewHandle |
Provides a safe handle that represents a view of a block of unmanaged memory for random access. |
| SafeNCryptHandle |
Provides a safe handle that can be used by Cryptography Next Generation (CNG) objects. |
| SafeNCryptKeyHandle |
Provides a safe handle that represents a key (NCRYPT_KEY_HANDLE). |
| SafeNCryptProviderHandle |
Provides a safe handle that represents a key storage provider (NCRYPT_PROV_HANDLE). |
| SafeNCryptSecretHandle |
Provides a safe handle that represents a secret agreement value (NCRYPT_SECRET_HANDLE). |
| SafePipeHandle |
Represents a wrapper class for a pipe handle. |
| SafeProcessHandle |
Provides a managed wrapper for a process handle. |
| SafeRegistryHandle |
Represents a safe handle to the Windows registry. |
| SafeWaitHandle |
Represents a wrapper class for a wait handle. |
| SafeX509ChainHandle |
Provides a wrapper class that represents the handle of an X.509 chain object. For more information, see X509Chain. |
Remarks
These classes are derived from the SafeHandle and CriticalHandle classes.
