Running code with elevated permissions

Recently, I had to allow a reader to be able to add to a list, and an image library, programatically.

After some hair pulling, this appears to do the trick!

SPSite mySite = SPContext.Current.Site;
SPWeb myWeb = mySite.OpenWeb();

SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate()
{
 // Get references to the site collection and site for the current context.
 // The using statement makes sures these references are disposed properly.
 using (SPSite siteCollection = new SPSite(mySite.ID))
 {
  using (SPWeb web = siteCollection.OpenWeb(myWeb.ID))
  {
   web.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true;

   try
   {
    //Code goes here
   }
   catch (Exception ex)
   {
    //Error handling goes here
   }
   finally
   {
    if (web != null)
    {
     web.AllowUnsafeUpdates = false;
    }
   }
  }
 }
});
