Secured Public Webserver - Sandbox Code

[Graeme Anderson]

I am wanting to deploy my Webservice that uses SOAP but the hosting company
have locked down their site. That means I have to create a 'sandbox' layer
and then request they install into the GAC..

I have read some MS suggestions/web sites but they don't make a lot of sense
and are incomplete. Does anyone have by chance a link to a site which has
some useful information please?

regards and thanks

Graeme

Hi Graeme,

I'm not sure I understand your question. What do you mean when you say the
hoster has locked down their site? Is it that they will only host static
HTML pages?

From the perspective of ASP.NET, there is little difference in the piece
parts of a web service application. There are assemblies, and these
contain the compiled code that is used to service an ASP.Net web service
request. Whether or not the assembly is registered in the GAC or ot
doesn't really effect the code you write, for the most part, with the
exception of strong naming and adding declarative security attributes to
your code.

You will need to negotiate with your hosting company around the
technologies and protocols they are willing to support. To run an ASP.NET
application, the server has to have a properly configured ASP.NET layer
enabled. If the hosting company doesn't or won't do this part, then GAC or
not, the ASP.NET web service will not be able to function properly.

I hope this helps,
