What requires trust?

  • Artikkeli

Sometimes it's not clear when an application requires a privileged
certificate or not. Here's a high level overview of the reasons you
would need your application to run privileged:

Only privileged processes can:

-
Create, modify, or delete SYSTEM files

  • Create, modify, or delete protected registry keys

  • Create, modify, or delete databases with the SYSTEM flag.

  • Access several system APIs, for example:

    • CryptProtectData with the CRYPTPROTECT_SYSTEM flag
    • Several IOCTL calls including rebooting and querying the device unique ID
    • Make calls directly to the radio using TAPI

There's a more detailed list like this in MSDN under Trusted APIs

    Is the SelectPictureDialog a trusted API?  I have developed an unsigned C#, .NET CF application that uses this dialog.  On a WM5 phone (Cingular 8125), the SelectPictureDialog closes immediately with DialogResult = Cancel.  On a WM5 handheld, the SelectPictureDialog works normally.
