SafeHandleMinusOneIsInvalid Class

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

This type can be used only by trusted applications. If you try to use its members in a partial-trust application, your code will throw a MethodAccessException exception. This type is security-critical, which restricts its use.
