securityexcepti on error trapping

Re: system.security .securityexcept ion [CAS error message]

The program I have written [works just fine in the My Computer Zone]
requires "Full Trust" to run and will throw a security exception if a user
tries to load it while working in the Intranet Zone, i.e., on a LAN.

I am trying to trap the error, and advise the user via a messagebox to
request the LAN administrator to set up the user machine to allow "full
trust" thus permitting the code to run.

The code [below] works fine, traps the error [a call to get system
environment info] and generates the messagebox as expected, however, when
the user clicks OK to continue, the "End" program statement results in the
user's CAS generating the same error message all over again

[An unhandled exception of type 'System.Securit y.SecurityExcep tion' occurred
in . ].

How do I just terminate the program without generating a second exception of
the same type.

Does anyone have a clue as to how to fix this.

Mike

Following is a snippet of the code used

Public Sub Main()
'
'get system.environm ent variables if needed
'
Try

Dim environmentVari ables As Idictionary = _
environment.Get EnvironmentVari ables()

Catch ex As System.Security .SecurityExcept ion

MessageBox.Show ("Trap error here", _
"", MessageBoxButto ns.OK, MessageBoxIcon. Error)
'
'terminate the program
'
End
'
End Try

Etc, etc

End sub

I have been learning really hard to understand this .NET security thing, but I still get overwhelmed with the abstractness. The hardest part is to understand *when* you get an SecurityException and *how* I would translate this into a simple-user-friendly messagebox. And *when* you get a PolicyException and I also want to translate this into a simple-user-friendly messagebox. The idea is then to start up some...

OMA (Outlook Mobile Access) under Exchange is giving me a System.Security.SecurityException error. From what I gather this is a problem with the security level under which the OMA application is trying to run. Anyone got some ideas on where I can start in getting this worked out?

I use code extensively; I probably overuse it. But I've been using error trapping very sparingly, and now I've been trapped by that. A form that works for me on the system I'm using, apparently runs into problems on the system where it will actually be used, and since I used so little error-trapping it dies very ungracefully. I will of course try to fix whatever is causing the error and add error-trapping to the functions where the...

I'm still using Office 2000 myself, but some of my clients have Office 2003. I've recently added a piece of code to create an instance of Word, open a document, fill in the blanks and become visible so the document can be printed and/or modified. This all takes place within one form, in which the Word.Application and Word.Document objects are both private form-level variables. Just to be on the safe side I included this piece of code in...

Hello folks, 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. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
