Delegate registration in a managed code execution environment

A computer-readable storage medium having one or more computer-executable instructions stored thereon that, when executed, cause one or more processors to:

• in response to a publisher's invocation of a delegate that stores a target method property and is annotated with a list of potential callers of the target method, at least one of the potential callers being another delegate,
• verify permissions for the delegate and the potential callers against subscriptions to the publisher;
• execute the target method if all permission verifications for the delegate and the potential callers are positive;
• and
• prevent execution of the target method if any of the permission verifications is negative.

A computing device comprising a processor and a computer readable storage medium,

• the computing device being configured to, in response to a publisher invoking a delegate that is populated with a property of a target method and that identifies another delegate that is a potential caller of the target method,
• verify permissions for the delegate and the potential caller against subscriptions to the publisher;
• execute the target method if all permission verifications for the delegate and the potential caller are positive;
• and
• prevent execution of the target method if any of the permission verifications is negative.
