Hi NG !
I have the following piece of code below. the first try/catch part
would return true although I do not have permission to access this
computer. The second try/catch part would return false.
Do I misunderstand the meaning of FileIOPermissio n ? From MSDN: "Controls the ability to access files and folders"
???
Thanks for education!

Hi,
What if you do a Console.Write( e.Message ) ?
It will give you the exact problem with the GetFiles method

I do not have problems with the second try and catch, because this acts
like I expect, but the first one should give me a SecurityExcepti on
because I have no permission to access the files on this computer. So
to conclude if I test the file access with the FileIOPermissio n class,
I get the wrong result. But why ?

Hi Schaf,
If you inspect the exception that is occurring in the second try...catch
block, you may be surprised. From what I can see, you are trying to call
Directory.GetFi les() on a file. You've defined sRemotePath to be a file,
i.e. "test.txt" and you are using Directory.GetFi les() on that file... I
don't think this will work. You can only list the files of a directory.
That may be why the exception is occurring, in the second try...catch block.

Yes, you do. FileIOPermissio n is about Code Access Security (CAS) not about
Windows security. Windows permissions are resource permissions based on
"user" identity (has the user permissions to access the resource?), while
CAS are base on "code" identity (does the "code" have access permissions to
the resource).
Please search the MSDN doc's for more info on the subject, CAS is a complex
issue so you might start with http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...ctices0001.asp
to get an high level picture before you dive into the details.
Willy.
Hi Tom !
Of course you are right, but what I would like to ask is, that with the
current logged on user I do not have permission to access anything on
the computer 192.168.2.2. So why do I get a FileIOPermissio n = true for
my demand ?
If I test it with the first try/catch then I get true and would fail in
a File.Copy() command. So why true is the return, if I do not have
access on the whole computer ?
Thanks

Hi Scaf,
Unfortunately, FileIOPermissio n is not what you think it is.
FileIOPermissio n applies to the code, e.g. is your code allowed to call
FileIO operations. Well, yes, your code IS allowed to call FileIO
operations. But, the result of calling that and being blocked by security
permissions is totally unrelated.
Take a look at the GetAccessContro l() method of the FileInfo object.
Hope this helps,
