ReflectionPermission Class

Controls access to non-public types and members through the System.Reflection APIs. Controls some features of the System.Reflection.Emit APIs.

Syntax

[System.Runtime.InteropServices.ComVisible(true)]
public sealed class ReflectionPermission : System.Security.CodeAccessPermission, IBuiltInPermission, IUnrestrictedPermission

Without System.Security.Permissions.ReflectionPermission, code can use reflection to access only the public members of objects. Code with System.Security.Permissions.ReflectionPermission and the appropriate System.Security.Permissions.ReflectionPermissionFlag flags can access the protected and private members of objects.

Note:

Because System.Security.Permissions.ReflectionPermission can provide access to non-public types and members, we recommend that you do not grant System.Security.Permissions.ReflectionPermission to Internet code, except with the ReflectionPermissionFlag.RestrictedMemberAccess flag. ReflectionPermissionFlag.RestrictedMemberAccess allows access to non-public members, with the restriction that the grant set of the non-public members must be equal to, or a subset of, the grant set of the code that accesses the non-public members.

Certain features of reflection emit, such as emitting debug symbols, require System.Security.Permissions.ReflectionPermission with the ReflectionPermissionFlag.ReflectionEmit flag.

All public static members of this type are safe for multithreaded operations. No instance members are guaranteed to be thread safe.
