EventWaitHandleAccessRule.EventWaitHandleRights Property

Definition

Namespace:

System.Security.AccessControl

Assembly:

System.Threading.AccessControl.dll

Package:

System.Threading.AccessControl v9.0.0-preview.3.24172.9

Source:

EventWaitHandleSecurity.cs

Gets the rights allowed or denied by the access rule.

public:
 property System::Security::AccessControl::EventWaitHandleRights EventWaitHandleRights { System::Security::AccessControl::EventWaitHandleRights get(); };

public System.Security.AccessControl.EventWaitHandleRights EventWaitHandleRights { get; }

member this.EventWaitHandleRights : System.Security.AccessControl.EventWaitHandleRights

Public ReadOnly Property EventWaitHandleRights As EventWaitHandleRights

Property Value

EventWaitHandleRights

A bitwise combination of EventWaitHandleRights values indicating the rights allowed or denied by the access rule.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates the use of the EventWaitHandleRights property to display the rights in the set of rules contained in an EventWaitHandleSecurity object. The example creates an EventWaitHandleSecurity object, adds rules that allow and deny various rights for the current user, and displays the resulting pair of rules. The example then allows new rights for the current user and displays the result, showing that the new rights are merged with the existing Allow rule.

Note

This example does not attach the security object to a EventWaitHandle object. Examples that attach security objects can be found in EventWaitHandle.GetAccessControl and EventWaitHandle.SetAccessControl.

Remarks

EventWaitHandleAccessRule objects are immutable. You can create a new access rule representing a different user, different rights, or a different AccessControlType, but you cannot modify an existing access rule.
