From ASP.NET 1.1 to 2.0:

[mlfblom]

Hi,

Recently, my hosting partner (shared hosting) updated my account from
..NET 1.1 to 2.0. After this update one particular call to a DLL
(freeware Metabuilders FirstFocus) results in an error:

System.Security.SecurityException: That assembly does not allow
partially trusted callers

From the info that I found on www and usenet, this means that my

partially trusted web app is referencing a strongly-named assembly
Firstfocus.dll and that is not allowed. I also read that this mechanism
is also in place for .NET 1.1 but I had never seen this before as it
all worked fine.

My questions
1. why did I not have this issue with .NET 1.1?
2. what can I do about it?

Thanks,

Mark

Hello (e-mail address removed),

your hoster has also set the web sites to partial trust during the update
(a wise decision).

Only assemblies that have the [AllowPartiallyTrustedCallers] attribute can
be called from partially trusted code. This does not seem to be the case
here.

Hello (e-mail address removed),

try to put a

<trust level="Full" />

into your local web.config - you should get an error saying you can't override
that setting - if you don't get an error - your hoster did a bad job - but
worth a try

I will try to see if the hoster has done its work properly

Thanks!
