Restrict access to an assembly

Hi all,

Anyone can tell me if it's possible to restrict the access of a classes
library (dll .NET) ?

For sample restrict the possibility to explore all classes and there
features into the object explorer from VS.Net or
restrict the use of that library from another program, because this library
will be distribued with an application, and
i don't want to share the library functions ... otherwise, anyone can
reference that library in his project and use all features ...

Any Idee or any link where i can find some infos about that ?

Thanks you

Olivier,

No. You can obfuscate the assembly to make it a bit harder to
understand what the types and members do, but you can't prevent
someone from looking at it.

or restrict the use of that library from another program


Yes, you can do this with code access security and link demands.

Hi all, at present I I've built a website which can be updated by admin and users. My problem, I've combined "log in" and "access levels" to restrict access to certain pages, using the built in "log in" and "user authentication, restrict access to page" features. But I find the after login I constantly get redirected from the restricted pages.

Can someone give me a short example as how to best use this keyword in your code? This is my understanding: by definition restrict sounds like it is suppose to restrict access to memory location(s) pointed to, so that only one declared pointer can store that address and access the data in those memory blocks, where I the data in those location(s) can be changed. Is that a correct understanding?

Hi, I am using codeDom class to compile on fly some c# code. I want to restrinc to use some assembly, i don't know if assembly is the best word, i want to forbid to use class like System.IO.File or System.IO.Directory, how can i do it?? I thought i can do it parsing the code looking for the key word, but i think can be another profesional solution.

Hi- Is there any way of restricting access to a database by application & account? For example, I only want the application APP1 to access the database using the USER1 account. I've tried to use the DB2 Governor to do this, but it seems it always allows the the first query to be processed before forcing the connection. Here is my db2gov config file: --- start config

I'm trying to wrap my head around the wording but from what I think the standard says: 1. it's impossible to swap a restrict pointer with another pointer, i.e. int a = 1, b = 2; int * restrict ap = &a; int * restrict bp = &b;

I see a lot of use in function declarations, such as size_t fread(void* restrict ptr, size_t size, size_t nobj, FILE* restrict fp); but what does the keyword 'restrict' mean? there is no definition found in K&R 2nd.

I'm going to be using an acronym a lot in this post: IINM = If I'm not mistaken Let's say we've got translation units which are going to be compiled to object files, and that these object files will be supplied to people to link with their own projects. Here's a sample function in one of the object files: void Func(int const *const p) {
