Can't Change User Settings

[steve.foster]

Hi,

I have a windows app (.net 2.0) with some user settings. If I run the
app from over the network and the settings cannot be changed, but they
can be changed if run locally.

Am I missing something? I don't understand why they can't be changed
if run over the network.

Thanks for any pointers...

Not my area of expertise, but I expect your falling foul of .nets security
policies.

Hi Steve,

I had a similar problem recently and it boiled down to Security Permissions.
I was able to save User Settings when the app was on the Network only after I
had configured permissions for the app using the Microsoft .NET 2.0
Configuration Tool. I'm no expert on its use and your case will no doubt be
different from mine but by configuring permissions using the tool or signing
your app with a StrongName and configuring the tool using that strong name
was the methods I investigated and used to get around the problem.

Marvelous, thanks David.

It took me a while to find the tool (in Administrative Tools), but I've
now got it working.

Cheers,
Steve
