Remarks

If a site uses Windows Authentication, the supplied credentials will override the logged in user's credentials.

This attribute targets methods. Only one instance of this attribute may be applied to a method.

Warning

The password is stored in plain text in source code and in the compiled assembly. Restrict access to the source code and assembly to help protect this sensitive information.

Thread Safety

Any public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
