CallContext.SetData(String, Object) Method

Definition

Namespace:

System.Runtime.Remoting.Messaging

Assembly:

mscorlib.dll

Stores a given object and associates it with the specified name.

public:
 static void SetData(System::String ^ name, System::Object ^ data);

[System.Security.SecurityCritical]
public static void SetData (string name, object data);

[<System.Security.SecurityCritical>]
static member SetData : string * obj -> unit

Public Shared Sub SetData (name As String, data As Object)

Parameters

name

String

The name with which to associate the new item in the call context.

data

Object

The object to store in the call context.

Attributes

SecurityCriticalAttribute

Exceptions

SecurityException

The immediate caller does not have infrastructure permission.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates the use of the SetData method to transmit Principal and Identity Objects to a remote location for identification. To view the code for the LogicalCallContextData class used in this sample, see the example for the ILogicalThreadAffinative interface. To view the code for the HelloServiceClass class used in this sample, see the example for the GetData method. To view the code for the server class used in this sample, see the example for the RegisterActivatedServiceType class.
