Remarks

Resource.Priority is used for priority control of managed resources. It returns 0 on nonmanaged resources.

Priorities are used to determine when managed resources should be removed from memory. A resource assigned a low priority is removed before one with a high priority. If two resources have the same priority, the one that was used more recently is kept in memory, while the other is removed. Managed resources have a default priority of 0.

Exceptions

InvalidCallException The method call is invalid. For example, a method's parameter might contain an invalid value.
