Asp.Net Alternative To SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges

 Scenario

• You would like to run code as the Application Pool user rather than impersonated/delegated logged-in user within a SharePoint Application
• You would like to run the same code outside of SharePoint in a standard Asp.Net environment or will be developing on a workstation where SharePoint is not installed

Resolution

• You can use the System.Web.dll's Hosting.HostingEnvironment.Impersonate() method to wrap the elevated code



Using (System.Web.Hosting.HostingEnvironment.Impersonate())
     'Elevated Code Here
End Using
