detect if .Net security is disabled

[Joe Abou Jaoude]

hi,
Is there a way to detect if code access security is disabled (using
caspol -security off for example)
I know that in COM+ you can detect if role-based security is disabled
using the ContextUtil.IsSecurityEnabled Property. I was wondering if
something similar can be done to detect if code access security is off.

thanks

Check System.Security.SecurityManager.SecurityEnabled

thanks Mattias,
problem solved (actually the 2 problems, this one and the public key
problem )

And since SecurityEnabled is not readonly, I just discovered that this
could be a security hole, if an assembly was granted the right to turn
the security off.

The application would need 'SecurityPermission' +
'SecurityPermissionFlag.ControlPolicy' to do that.
