IHostSecurityManager::SetThreadToken Method

Sets a handle for the currently executing thread.

Syntax

HRESULT SetThreadToken (  
    [in] HANDLE hToken  
);  

Parameters

hToken
[in] A handle to the token to set for the currently executing thread.

Return Value

HRESULT Description
S_OK SetThreadToken returned successfully.
HOST_E_CLRNOTAVAILABLE The common language runtime (CLR) has not been loaded into a process, or the CLR is in a state in which it cannot run managed code or process the call successfully.
HOST_E_TIMEOUT The call timed out.
HOST_E_NOT_OWNER The caller does not own the lock.
HOST_E_ABANDONED An event was canceled while a blocked thread or fiber was waiting on it.
E_FAIL An unknown catastrophic failure occurred. When a method returns E_FAIL, the CLR is no longer usable within the process. Subsequent calls to hosting methods return HOST_E_CLRNOTAVAILABLE.

Remarks

IHostSecurityManager::SetThreadToken behaves similarly to the corresponding Win32 function of the same name, except that the Win32 function allows the caller to pass in a handle to an arbitrary thread, while IHostSecurityManager::SetThreadToken can associate a token only with the currently executing thread.

The HANDLE type is not COM-compliant; that is, its size is specific to an operating system and it requires custom marshalling. Thus, this token is for use only within the process, between the CLR and the host.
