WebPermissionAttribute Class

Definition

Namespace:

System.Net

Assembly:

System.Security.Permissions.dll

Caution

Code Access Security is not supported or honored by the runtime.

Specifies permission to access Internet resources. This class cannot be inherited.

Examples

The following example demonstrates how to apply WebPermissionAttribute to a method.

public:
   // Deny access to a specific resource by setting the ConnectPattern property.
   [method:WebPermission(SecurityAction::Deny,ConnectPattern="http://www.contoso.com/")]

   void Connect()
   {
      // Create a Connection.
      HttpWebRequest^ myWebRequest = (HttpWebRequest^)(WebRequest::Create( "http://www.contoso.com" ));
      Console::WriteLine( "This line should never be printed" );
   }

    // Deny access to a specific resource by setting the ConnectPattern property. 
   [WebPermission(SecurityAction.Deny, ConnectPattern=@"http://www\.contoso\.com/")]

public void Connect() 
     {
        // Create a Connection.  
        HttpWebRequest myWebRequest = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("http://www.contoso.com");
        Console.WriteLine("This line should never be printed");
     }

' Deny access to a specific resource by setting the ConnectPattern property. 
<WebPermission(SecurityAction.Deny, ConnectPattern := "http://www\.contoso\.com/.*")> Public Sub Connect()

' Create a Connection.	 
Dim myWebRequest As HttpWebRequest = CType(WebRequest.Create("http://www.contoso.com"), HttpWebRequest)
Console.WriteLine("This line should never be printed")

Remarks

Caution

Code Access Security (CAS) has been deprecated across all versions of .NET Framework and .NET. Recent versions of .NET do not honor CAS annotations and produce errors if CAS-related APIs are used. Developers should seek alternative means of accomplishing security tasks.

WebPermissionAttribute allows you to declaratively specify which URI strings and regular expression strings your class can use.

The security information specified in the WebPermissionAttribute is stored in the metadata of the attribute target, which is the class to which WebPermissionAttribute is applied. The system accesses this information at run time. The System.Security.Permissions.SecurityAction passed to the constructor determines the allowable WebPermissionAttribute targets. The system uses the WebPermission returned by the CreatePermission method to convert the security information of the attribute target to a serializable form stored in metadata.

Note

WebPermissionAttribute is used only for Declarative Security. For Imperative Security, use the corresponding WebPermission.

Constructors

WebPermissionAttribute(SecurityAction)

Initializes a new instance of the WebPermissionAttribute class with a value that specifies the security actions that can be performed on this class.

Properties

Accept	Gets or sets the URI string accepted by the current WebPermissionAttribute.
AcceptPattern	Gets or sets a regular expression pattern that describes the URI accepted by the current WebPermissionAttribute.
Action	Gets or sets a security action. (Inherited from SecurityAttribute)
Connect	Gets or sets the URI connection string controlled by the current WebPermissionAttribute.
ConnectPattern	Gets or sets a regular expression pattern that describes the URI connection controlled by the current WebPermissionAttribute.
TypeId	When implemented in a derived class, gets a unique identifier for this Attribute. (Inherited from Attribute)
Unrestricted	Gets or sets a value indicating whether full (unrestricted) permission to the resource protected by the attribute is declared. (Inherited from SecurityAttribute)

Methods

CreatePermission()	Creates and returns a new instance of the WebPermission class.
Equals(Object)	Returns a value that indicates whether this instance is equal to a specified object. (Inherited from Attribute)
GetHashCode()	Returns the hash code for this instance. (Inherited from Attribute)
GetType()	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object)
IsDefaultAttribute()	When overridden in a derived class, indicates whether the value of this instance is the default value for the derived class. (Inherited from Attribute)
Match(Object)	When overridden in a derived class, returns a value that indicates whether this instance equals a specified object. (Inherited from Attribute)
MemberwiseClone()	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object)
ToString()	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object)
