Examples

The following code example creates several instances of the FileIOPermissionAttribute class to set varying levels of file I/O permissions.

// This sample demonstrates the use of the FileIOPermissionAttribute class.
// The sample follows the recommended procedure of first granting PermitOnly permissions, 
// then using a Deny on that set of granted permissions.
