HostProtectionAttribute Class
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.
Caution
Code Access Security is not supported or honored by the runtime.
Allows the use of declarative security actions to determine host protection requirements. This class cannot be inherited.

Remarks
Caution
Code Access Security (CAS) has been deprecated across all versions of .NET Framework and .NET. Recent versions of .NET do not honor CAS annotations and produce errors if CAS-related APIs are used. Developers should seek alternative means of accomplishing security tasks.
This attribute affects only unmanaged applications that host the common language runtime and implement host protection, such as SQL Server. If the code is run in a client application or on a server that is not host-protected, the attribute "evaporates"; it is not detected and therefore not applied. When applied, the security action results in the creation of a link demand based on the host resources the class or method exposes.
Important
The purpose of this attribute is to enforce host-specific programming model guidelines, not security behavior. Although a link demand is used to check for conformance to programming model requirements, the HostProtectionAttribute is not a security permission.
If the host does not have programming model requirements, the link demands do not occur.
This attribute identifies the following:
- Methods or classes that do not fit the host programming model, but are otherwise benign.
- Methods or classes that do not fit the host programming model and could lead to destabilizing server-managed user code.
- Methods or classes that do not fit the host programming model and could lead to a destabilization of the server process itself.
Note
If you are creating a class library that is to be called by applications that may execute in a host protected environment, you should apply this attribute to members that expose HostProtectionResource resource categories. The .NET Framework class library members with this attribute cause only the immediate caller to be checked. Your library member must also cause a check of its immediate caller in the same manner.
Note
Do not use the Ngen.exe (Native Image Generator) to create a native image of assemblies that are protected by the HostProtectionAttribute. In a full-trust environment, the image is always loaded, without regard to the HostProtectionAttribute, and in a partial-trust environment the image is not loaded.
Constructors
HostProtectionAttribute() |
Initializes a new instance of the HostProtectionAttribute class with default values. |
HostProtectionAttribute(SecurityAction) |
Initializes a new instance of the HostProtectionAttribute class with the specified SecurityAction value. |
Properties

Gets or sets a value indicating whether external process management is exposed. |
ExternalThreading |
Gets or sets a value indicating whether external threading is exposed. |
MayLeakOnAbort |
Gets or sets a value indicating whether resources might leak memory if the operation is terminated. |
Resources |
Gets or sets flags specifying categories of functionality that are potentially harmful to the host. |
SecurityInfrastructure |
Gets or sets a value indicating whether the security infrastructure is exposed. |
SelfAffectingProcessMgmt |

Unrestricted |
Gets or sets a value indicating whether full (unrestricted) permission to the resource protected by the attribute is declared. (Inherited from SecurityAttribute) |
Methods
