[System.AttributeUsage(System.AttributeTargets.Assembly | System.AttributeTargets.Class | System.AttributeTargets.Struct | System.AttributeTargets.Constructor | System.AttributeTargets.Method, AllowMultiple=true, Inherited=false)] public sealed class SocketPermissionAttribute : System.Security.Permissions.CodeAccessSecurityAttribute

Thread Safety

All public static members of this type are safe for multithreaded operations. No instance members are guaranteed to be thread safe.

Remarks

The properties of a System.Net.SocketPermissionAttribute are required to have non-null values. Once set, the values of the properties cannot be changed.

Note:

The details of a socket connection are specified using the properties of the current instance. For example, to secure a socket connection to port 80, set the SocketPermissionAttribute.Port property equal to "80".

The security information declared by a security attribute is stored in the metadata of the attribute target, and is accessed by the system at run-time. Security attributes are used for declarative security only. For imperative security, use the corresponding permission class, System.Net.SocketPermission .

The allowable System.Net.SocketPermissionAttribute targets are determined by the System.Security.Permissions.SecurityAction passed to the constructor.
