CodeAccessPermission.IsSubsetOf(IPermission) Method
Definition
Important
Some information relates to prerelease product that may be substantially modified before it’s released. Microsoft makes no warranties, express or implied, with respect to the information provided here.
When implemented by a derived class, determines whether the current permission is a subset of the specified permission.
public:
abstract bool IsSubsetOf(System::Security::IPermission ^ target);
public abstract bool IsSubsetOf (System.Security.IPermission target);
abstract member IsSubsetOf : System.Security.IPermission -> bool
Public MustOverride Function IsSubsetOf (target As IPermission) As Boolean
Parameters
- target
- IPermission
A permission that is to be tested for the subset relationship. This permission must be of the same type as the current permission.
Returns
true
if the current permission is a subset of the specified permission; otherwise, false
.
Implements
Exceptions
The target
parameter is not null
and is not of the same type as the current permission.
Examples
The following code example shows an override of the IsSubsetOf method. This code example is part of a larger example provided for the CodeAccessPermission class.
public:

{
#if ( debug )
Console::WriteLine( "************* Entering IsSubsetOf *********************" );
#endif
if ( target == nullptr )
{

return false;
}
#if ( debug )
Console::WriteLine( "This is = {0}", ((NameIdPermission)this).Name );
Console::WriteLine( "Target is {0}", ((NameIdPermission)target).m_Name );
#endif
try
{
NameIdPermission^ operand = dynamic_cast<NameIdPermission^>(target);
// The following check for unrestricted permission is only included as an example for
// permissions that allow the unrestricted state. It is of no value for this permission.
if ( true == operand->m_Unrestricted )

Remarks
The current permission is a subset of the specified permission if the current permission specifies a set of operations that is wholly contained by the specified permission. For example, a permission that represents access to C:\example.txt is a subset of a permission that represents access to C:\. If this method returns true
, the current permission represents no more access to the protected resource than does the specified permission.
The following statements are required to be true
for all overrides of the IsSubsetOf method. X, Y, and Z represent custom code access permission objects that are not null references, U represents an unrestricted code access permission, and N represents an empty permission with a PermissionState of None.
X.IsSubsetOf(X) returns
true
.X.IsSubsetOf(Y) returns the same value as Y.IsSubsetOf(X) if and only if X and Y represent the same set of permissions.
If X.IsSubsetOf(Y) and Y.IsSubsetOf(Z) both return
true
, X.IsSubsetOf(Z) returnstrue
.X.IsSubsetOf(U) returns
true
.X.IsSubsetOf(N) returns
false
.N.IsSubsetOf(X) returns
true
.
If X and Y represent custom code access permission objects that are null references, X.IsSubsetOf(Y) returns true
. If Z is also null, the compound set operation X.Union(Y).IsSubsetOf(Z) also returns true
because the union of two null permissions is a null permission.
Notes to Implementers
You must override this method in a derived class.
