In visual basic 6 I can write an application and toss it
up on a shared network drive for the company to access.
Works like a champ.
In .NET my C# application runs fine on anyones machine,
but due to the integrated security model of .NET, bombs
out with Security Exceptions when someone tries to run it
off the network drive.
Sure, I can go to the users PC, and via the control panel,
add the assembly and set the trust. Which is acceptable.
What is NOT acceptable is the fact that would have to do
this with 5,000 users across the country who have access
to the shared drive and application.
Can someone please describe some way my C# application can
behave like my VB6 application from a network drive
without having to go to 5,000 PC's and configuring them
for that application ?
I have gone over the .NET security model many times and am
ready to rewrite the app in VB6 because quite honestly the
lack of information on this in the Microsoft KB (which I
have unsuccessfully scoured) is depressing.
Searching with Google I see people have "solved" the
problem by just copying the file off the network share and
running it on thier local PC - which in my case - is not
an option. I hope i'm missing something painfully easy and
obvious here.
Thanks in advance for any advice you could give me. I'd
hate to have to go back to VB6 to end these Security
Exception nightmares.
Thanks !

I have the same problem. If you get an answer, please feel free to email me about it. In the meantime, I'm looking at this link to see if there are any other suggestions: http://www.dotnet247.com/247referenc...ssion.aspx?v=2
There seems to be quite a few network security related threads there.

Good morning everyone! I have FINALLY finished my crazy go nuts 80,000 line
custom built app and am getting ready to do some testing and have already
run into a little problem. The app needs to be run from a share, not
locally and when attempting to do that, I get this neat message:
System.Security.SecurityException
What does one need to do to permit this type of activity?
Thanks!

Hi all,
I have a project which references a DLL on a network share. The dll on
the network share is one built by our integration server and I have the
source code for it.
I'm trying to debug a problem that arises in the current project, and
I'd like to be able to step into code from the assembly on the network
share, but I can't figure out how to get the debugger to load the pdb
for the assembly.

We're in the process of writing a new Windows Forms app and the desktop

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
