New resource-management priority for the resource.

Remarks

Resource.SetPriority is used for priority control of managed resources. This method returns 0 on nonmanaged resources.

Priorities are used to determine when managed resources should be removed from memory. A resource assigned a low priority is removed before a resource with a high priority. If two resources have the same priority, the one that was used more recently is kept in memory, while the other is removed. Managed resources have a default priority of 0.
