With this attribute, you can ensure that the current assembly has the
required code access security permission to host the ASP.NET engine.
If it does not, a
System.Security.SecurityException will be thrown
immediately (which prevents the problem of an unexpected
security-related failure later on). This attribute serves the same
purpose as the AspNetHostingPermission class. The
difference is that while AspNetHostingPermission
must be used programmatically (by creating an instance and invoking
the corresponding method),
AspNetHostingPermissionAttribute is used
declaratively, by adding the attribute to an assembly or code
construct like a class or method declaration.
Note that this type only pertains to code access security (the policy
of allowed and disallowed actions configured using the .NET Framework
Configuration Tool or the caspol.exe command-line
utility). It has nothing to do with ASP.NET or IIS authentication. It
will also not be of any interest if you are using IIS to host the
ASP.NET engine.
