CriticalHandleMinusOneIsInvalid Class

Definition

Provides a base class for Win32 critical handle implementations in which the value of -1 indicates an invalid handle.

Remarks

This class derives from the System.Runtime.InteropServices.CriticalHandle class. It describes the format of an invalid handle that uses a value of -1. Further derivations of this class (for example, file or registry handles) can specialize this further.

This type implements the IDisposable interface. When you have finished using the type, you should dispose of it either directly or indirectly. To dispose of the type directly, call its Dispose method in a try/catch block. To dispose of it indirectly, use a language construct such as using (in C#) or Using (in Visual Basic). For more information, see the "Using an Object that Implements IDisposable" section in the IDisposable interface topic.

Note

See the CriticalHandle class for important information on critical handle security and thread safety.
