Here is the code I use to "demand" full trust and exit gracefully if not.

I have an application (that has unmanaged code) and when I launch it
without
'FullTrust' permissions (LocalIntranet_Zone), it crashes. When I set
'FullTrust' permissions, it launches fine. Is there a way I can compile
the
application such that it won't even attempt to launch without correct
permissions instead of just crashing? Thanks for any help.
