ToXml()

Creates an XML encoding of the security object and its current state.

public:
 virtual System::Security::SecurityElement ^ ToXml();

public System.Security.SecurityElement ToXml ();

abstract member ToXml : unit -> System.Security.SecurityElement
override this.ToXml : unit -> System.Security.SecurityElement

Public Function ToXml () As SecurityElement

Returns

SecurityElement

Examples

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

GacMembershipCondition ^ Gac1 = gcnew GacMembershipCondition;
GacMembershipCondition ^ Gac2 = gcnew GacMembershipCondition;

// Roundtrip a GacMembershipCondition to and from an XML encoding.
Gac2->FromXml(Gac1->ToXml());
bool result = Gac2->Equals(Gac1);
if (result)
{
    Console::WriteLine("Result of ToXml() = {0}", Gac2->ToXml());
    Console::WriteLine(
        "Result of ToFromXml roundtrip = {0}", Gac2);
}
else
{
    Console::WriteLine(Gac2->ToString());
    Console::WriteLine(Gac1->ToString());
    return false;
}

GacMembershipCondition Gac1 = new GacMembershipCondition();
GacMembershipCondition Gac2 = new GacMembershipCondition();

// Roundtrip a GacMembershipCondition to and from an XML encoding.
Gac2.FromXml(Gac1.ToXml());
bool result = Gac2.Equals(Gac1);
if (result)
{
    Console.WriteLine(
        "Result of ToXml() = " + Gac2.ToXml().ToString());
    Console.WriteLine(
        "Result of ToFromXml roundtrip = " + Gac2.ToString());
}
else
{
    Console.WriteLine(Gac2.ToString());
    Console.WriteLine(Gac1.ToString());
    return false;
}

Dim Gac1 As New GacMembershipCondition
Dim Gac2 As New GacMembershipCondition

' Roundtrip a GacMembershipCondition to and from an XML encoding.
Gac2.FromXml(Gac1.ToXml())
Dim result As Boolean = Gac2.Equals(Gac1)
If result Then
    Console.WriteLine(("Result of ToXml() = " & _ 
        Gac2.ToXml().ToString()))
    Console.WriteLine(("Result of ToFromXml roundtrip = " & _ 
        Gac2.ToString()))
Else
    Console.WriteLine(Gac2.ToString())
    Console.WriteLine(Gac1.ToString())
    Return False
End If

Remarks

Use the FromXml method to restore the state information from a SecurityElement.

ToXml(PolicyLevel)

Creates an XML encoding of the security object and its current state, using the specified policy level context.

public:
 virtual System::Security::SecurityElement ^ ToXml(System::Security::Policy::PolicyLevel ^ level);

public System.Security.SecurityElement ToXml (System.Security.Policy.PolicyLevel level);

abstract member ToXml : System.Security.Policy.PolicyLevel -> System.Security.SecurityElement
override this.ToXml : System.Security.Policy.PolicyLevel -> System.Security.SecurityElement

Public Function ToXml (level As PolicyLevel) As SecurityElement

Parameters

level

PolicyLevel

The PolicyLevel context for resolving NamedPermissionSet references.

Returns

SecurityElement

A SecurityElement that contains the XML encoding of the security object, including any state information.

Implements

ToXml(PolicyLevel)

Examples

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

GacMembershipCondition ^ Gac3 = gcnew GacMembershipCondition;
GacMembershipCondition ^ Gac4 = gcnew GacMembershipCondition;
IEnumerator^ policyEnumerator = SecurityManager::PolicyHierarchy();
while (policyEnumerator->MoveNext())
{
    PolicyLevel^ currentLevel = 
        dynamic_cast<PolicyLevel^>(policyEnumerator->Current);
    if (currentLevel->Label->Equals("Machine"))
    {
        Console::WriteLine("Result of ToXml(level) = {0}", 
            Gac3->ToXml(currentLevel));
        Gac4->FromXml(Gac3->ToXml(), currentLevel);
        Console::WriteLine(
            "Result of FromXml(element, level) = {0}", Gac4);
    }
}

GacMembershipCondition Gac3 = new GacMembershipCondition();
GacMembershipCondition Gac4 = new GacMembershipCondition();
IEnumerator policyEnumerator = SecurityManager.PolicyHierarchy();
while (policyEnumerator.MoveNext())
{
    PolicyLevel currentLevel = 
        (PolicyLevel)policyEnumerator.Current;
    if (currentLevel.Label == "Machine")
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Result of ToXml(level) = " + 
            Gac3.ToXml(currentLevel));
        Gac4.FromXml(Gac3.ToXml(), currentLevel);
        Console.WriteLine("Result of FromXml(element, level) = " + 
            Gac4.ToString());
    }
}

Dim Gac3 As New GacMembershipCondition
Dim Gac4 As New GacMembershipCondition
Dim policyEnumerator As IEnumerator = _
    SecurityManager.PolicyHierarchy()
While policyEnumerator.MoveNext()
    Dim currentLevel As PolicyLevel = _
        CType(policyEnumerator.Current, PolicyLevel)
    If currentLevel.Label = "Machine" Then
        Console.WriteLine(("Result of ToXml(level) = " & _
            Gac3.ToXml(currentLevel).ToString()))
        Gac4.FromXml(Gac3.ToXml(), currentLevel)
        Console.WriteLine(("Result of FromXml(element, level) = " _
            & Gac4.ToString()))
    End If
End While

Remarks

The policy level context is provided for resolution of named permission set references. For example, code groups use policy level to find named permission sets.
