call secure web service (thru cer) from a web service

[=?Utf-8?B?VFRL?=]

I have a vb.net web service. I am trying to call another webservice that is
secured through certificate. I have received the certificate file and I am
trying to call the service using the file. I am having some challenges such
as:

1. I can not add a web reference to the secure service. Error: The request
failed with HTTP status 400: Bad Request.
2. to overcome this, I asked for a proxy class. I received the dll and I
added it as a reference in bin. I then have the following code:
=======================================
Dim cert1Path As String = "certificate1.cer"
Dim cert2Path As String = "certificate2.cer"
Dim proxy As New SecuredWebService()
Proxy.Url = "https://url.asmx"
proxy.ClientCertificates.Add(X509Certificate.Creat eFromCertFile(cert1Path))
proxy.ClientCertificates.Add(X509Certificate.Creat eFromCertFile(cert2Path))

result=proxy.method()
==============================================

I get an error when I do that:
"Request for the permission of type 'System.Net.WebPermission, System,
Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=XXXXXXXXXXXXX' failed"

3. Can some one do me a big favor and tell me how I can refer to a file
under App_Data or App_Code other than using "~/App_Code/Filname". I get an
error when I move the code to the server and run it using the url versus
Visual Studio start button. It complains that "File not found" or
