Toss something like this in the Main() method
Try
' Demand full trust as this application needs to be run from
' a network location
Dim fullTrust As New
PermissionSet(Permissions.PermissionState.Unrestri cted)
fullTrust.Demand()
SecondaryMain() ' some other method which does other startup functions
Catch ex As SecurityException
MessageBox.Show( _
"Your .NET Framework permissions will need to be adjusted before you can
" & _
"run this application." & Environment.NewLine & _
"Please have an administrator modify your .NET Security Wizard to set "
& _
"'Local Intranet' to Full Trust.", _
"Security Error", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error)
End Try
and in at the top of your class
Imports System.Security
This will at least handle the exception instead of leaving it unhandled. In
the Admin tools of the control panel, find the DNF wizard, click Adjust .NET
security, Next, click local intranet, and change the permissions to full
trust.

Hi everyone,
My coworker has a simple desktop app created in VB.NET.
He compiled it and posted on the network drive. When we try to run it
from it's network location, it generates unhandled exception error.
When we run it from local machine it runs fine.
Two things I want to get clarified.
1. Does VB.NET requires any specific namespace to be imported to run
the exe over network?
2. I can run other apps from network (Not VB.NET exe apps). Is it
just the .NET issue or more related to permissions on the network?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Uday
