ReflectionPermission.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.
Determines whether the current permission is a subset of the specified permission.
public:
override bool IsSubsetOf(System::Security::IPermission ^ target);public override bool IsSubsetOf (System.Security.IPermission target);override this.IsSubsetOf : System.Security.IPermission -> boolPublic Overrides Function IsSubsetOf (target As IPermission) As BooleanParameters
- 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.
Exceptions
The target parameter is not null and is not of the same type as the current permission.
Examples
The following code example shows the behavior of the IsSubsetOf method. This example is part of a larger example provided for the ReflectionPermission class.
Note
The code example is intended to show the behavior of the method, not to demonstrate its use. In general, the methods of permission classes are used by the security infrastructure; they are not typically used in applications.
private static void IsSubsetOfDemo()
{
ReflectionPermission memberAccessPerm = new ReflectionPermission(ReflectionPermissionFlag.MemberAccess);
ReflectionPermission restrictedMemberAccessPerm = new ReflectionPermission(ReflectionPermissionFlag.RestrictedMemberAccess);
if (restrictedMemberAccessPerm.IsSubsetOf(memberAccessPerm))
{
Console.WriteLine(restrictedMemberAccessPerm.Flags + " is a subset of " +
memberAccessPerm.Flags);
}
else
{
Console.WriteLine(restrictedMemberAccessPerm.Flags + " is not a subset of " +
memberAccessPerm.Flags);
}
}
Private Shared Sub IsSubsetOfDemo()
Dim memberAccessPerm As New ReflectionPermission(ReflectionPermissionFlag.MemberAccess)
Dim restrictedMemberAccessPerm As New ReflectionPermission(ReflectionPermissionFlag.RestrictedMemberAccess)
If restrictedMemberAccessPerm.IsSubsetOf(memberAccessPerm) Then
Console.WriteLine(restrictedMemberAccessPerm.Flags + " is a subset of " + memberAccessPerm.Flags)
Else
Console.WriteLine(restrictedMemberAccessPerm.Flags.ToString() + _
" is not a subset of " + memberAccessPerm.Flags.ToString())
End If
End Sub
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.
