System.Security.Permissions.FileDialogPermissionAttribute Class

Summary

Allows security actions for FileDialogPermission to be applied to code using declarative security. This class cannot be inherited.

C# Syntax:

[AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.Assembly | AttributeTargets.Class | AttributeTargets.Struct | AttributeTargets.Constructor | AttributeTargets.Method)] [Serializable] public sealed class FileDialogPermissionAttribute : CodeAccessSecurityAttribute

The scope of the declaration that is allowed depends on the SecurityAction that is used.

The security information declared by a security attribute is stored in the metadata of the attribute target and is accessed by the system at run time. Security attributes are used only for declarative security. For imperative security, use the corresponding permission class.

The following example of a declarative attribute shows the correct way to request FileDialogPermission and states that you must have at least this permission to run your code.

 [assembly:FileDialogPermissionAttribute(SecurityAction.RequestMinimum, Unrestricted=true)]
 //In C#, you must specify that you are using the assembly scope when making a request.

    

The following example shows how to demand that the calling code has FileDialogPermission at link time. Demands are typically made in managed libraries (DLLs) to protect methods or classes from potentially harmful code.

 [FileDialogPermissionAttribute(SecurityAction.LinkDemand, Unrestricted=true)]

System.Security.Permissions.FileDialogPermissionAttribute Member Details

Summary

Initializes a new instance of the FileDialogPermissionAttribute class with the specified SecurityAction.

C# Syntax:

public FileDialogPermissionAttribute(    SecurityAction action );

action

One of the SecurityAction values.

Return to top

Inherited
See base class member description: System.Security.Permissions.SecurityAttribute.Action

Summary

Gets or sets a security action.

C# Syntax:

public SecurityAction Action {get; set;}

This property is inherited by all classes implementing custom attributes for declarative security.

Return to top

Summary

Gets or sets a value indicating whether permission to open files through the file dialog is declared.

C# Syntax:

public bool Open {get; set;}

Return to top

Summary

Gets or sets a value indicating whether permission to save files through the file dialog is declared.

C# Syntax:

public bool Save {get; set;}

Return to top

Inherited
See base class member description: System.Attribute.TypeId

Summary

When implemented in a derived class, gets a unique identifier for this Attribute.

C# Syntax:

public virtual object TypeId {get;}

As implemented, this identifier is merely the Type of the attribute. However, it is intended that the unique identifier be used to identify two attributes of the same type.

Return to top

Inherited
See base class member description: System.Security.Permissions.SecurityAttribute.Unrestricted

Summary

Gets or sets a value indicating whether full (unrestricted) permission to the resource protected by the attribute is declared.

C# Syntax:

public bool Unrestricted {get; set;}

This property is inherited by all classes implementing custom attributes for declarative security.

Return to top

Summary

Creates and returns a new FileDialogPermission.

C# Syntax:

public override IPermission CreatePermission();

Return Value:

A FileDialogPermission that corresponds to this attribute.

This method should only be called by the security system, never by application code.

At compile time, attributes convert security declarations to a serialized form in metadata. Declarative security data in metadata is created from the permission that this method returns that corresponds to this attribute.

See base class member description: System.Attribute.GetHashCode

Summary

Returns the hash code for this instance.

C# Syntax:

public override int GetHashCode();

Return Value:

A 32-bit signed integer hash code.

Inherited
See base class member description: System.Attribute.IsDefaultAttribute

Summary

When overridden in a derived class, returns an indication whether the value of this instance is the default value for the derived class.

C# Syntax:

public virtual bool IsDefaultAttribute();

Return Value:

true if this instance is the default attribute for the class; otherwise, false.

The default implementation of this class returns false, and must be implemented in the derived class to be useful to that class.

The implementation of this method in a derived class compares the value of this instance to a standard, default value obtained by some means, then returns a Boolean value that indicates whether the value of this instance is equal to the standard. The standard value is typically coded as a constant in the implementation, or stored programmatically in a field used by the implementation.

Return to top

Inherited
See base class member description: System.Attribute.Match

Summary

When overridden in a derived class, returns a value indicating whether this instance equals a specified object.

C# Syntax:

public virtual bool Match(    object obj );

obj

An Object to compare with this instance of Attribute.

Return Value:

true if this instance equals obj; otherwise, false.

This method determines if one Attribute equals another. Its default implementation is the same as Attribute.Equals, which performs a value and reference comparison. Override this method to implement support for attribute values, such as flags or bitfields, that consist of components that are meaningful in themselves. For example, consider an attribute whose value is a binary field divided into a bitfield of flags. Two instances of this attribute have one flag in set in common while all the other flags differ. The Equal method cannot determine that the two instances have the same flag set, but the Match method can.
