Examples

The following code example shows how the ResetAccessRule method replaces all rules for the matching user with the rule specified for the match.

The example creates an EventWaitHandleSecurity object and adds rules that allow and deny various rights for the current user. The example then creates a new rule that allows the current user full control, and uses the ResetAccessRule method to replace both of the existing rules with the new rule.

            Environment.UserName;

        // Create a security object that grants no access.
        EventWaitHandleSecurity mSec = new EventWaitHandleSecurity();

        // Add a rule that grants the current user the 
        // right to wait on or signal the event and read the
        // permissions on the event.
        EventWaitHandleAccessRule rule = new EventWaitHandleAccessRule(user, 
            EventWaitHandleRights.Synchronize | EventWaitHandleRights.Modify
