The Novalys.VisualGuard.Security namespace provides classes that allow interacting with Visual Guard. One of the most important classes of this namespace is the VGSecurityManager class. This class Provides the main access point for classes interacting with the Visual Guard security system.
If you need to integrate Visual Guard in a WinForm application, we strongly recommend to read the "How to integrate Visual Guard in a WinForm application" document.
If you need to integrate Visual Guard in an ASP.Net 1.1 application, we strongly recommend to read the "How to integrate Visual Guard in an ASP.Net 1.1 application" document.
If you need to integrate Visual Guard in an ASP.Net 2.0 application, we strongly recommend to read the "How to integrate Visual Guard in an ASP.Net 2.0 application" document.
If you need to integrate Visual Guard in a WCF application, we strongly recommend to read the "How to integrate Visual Guard in a WCF application" document.
