Examples

The following code example shows the use of the SetPathList method. This code example is part of a larger example provided for the EnvironmentPermission class.

        Console.WriteLine("Adding 'TEMP' to the write access list, and 'windir' to the read access list.");
        envPerm1.AddPathList(EnvironmentPermissionAccess.Write, "TEMP");
