hi there! according to msdn (link at bottom) i should be able to
protect a whole class declaratively as above. However i keep getting
'request for principal permissions failed' exceptions.
in the msdn article a reference is made to include
AppDomain.CurrentDomain.SetPrincipalPolicy(Princip alPolicy.WindowsPrincipal)
in your code to set the appdomain principal.I can understand how to
use setprincipalpolicy to protect a method declaratively (working code
example at bottom)
but how do i protect a CLASS?
the question is where & how to SetPrincipalPolicy Declaratively? is
there an attribute in assemblyinfo.vb for this?
many thanks,
X
a)msdn link:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...attribute.aspx
b)Protecting a class - this doesnt work (& i tried
role:="administrators", name:="administrator" etc)
<PrincipalPermissionAttribute(SecurityAction.Deman d, Role:="BUILTIN
\Administrators") _
Public Class Form1 Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Messagebox("form should load if user is admin")
End Sub
c)Protecting a method - this works ok
Public Class Form1
Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
AppDomain.CurrentDomain.SetPrincipalPolicy(Princip alPolicy.WindowsPrincipal)
End Sub
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
dowork()
End Sub
<PrincipalPermissionAttribute(SecurityAction.Deman d, Role:="BUILTIN
\Administrators")Sub dowork()
MessageBox.Show("protected")
End Sub
end class
