C# System.Security.Permissions.FileIOPermission problem

[laptop_01]

Hi

 

I have a vb application that passes a file name (a string that defines the full path for a file) to a C# DLL. I verified that the string is being passed fine. Problem is that as soon as I try to do this:

 

FileInfo fiFile = new FileInfo(inFile);

 

I get this exception:

 

C# Exception: Request for the permission of type System.Security.Permissions.FileIOPermission, mscorlib, Version=1.0.5000.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089 failed.

C# Exception: at System.Security.CodeAccessSecurityEngine.CheckHelper(PermissionSet grantedSet, PermissionSet deniedSet, CodeAccessPermission demand, PermissionToken permToken)

at System.Security.CodeAccessSecurityEngine.Check(PermissionToken permToken, CodeAccessPermission demand, StackCrawlMark& stackMark, Int32 checkFrames, Int32 unrestrictedOverride)

at System.Security.CodeAccessSecurityEngine.Check(CodeAccessPermission cap, StackCrawlMark& stackMark)

at CedarToXML.CedarXmlMain.ConvertFile(String inFile, String outFile, String styleSheetName, String[]& response) in l:\c#projects\cedartoxml\cedarxmlmain.cs:line 73

C# Exception:

C# Exception: Thrown ByVoid CheckHelper(System.Security.PermissionSet, System.Security.PermissionSet, System.Security.CodeAccessPermission, System.Security.PermissionToken)

 

 

 

I tried adding this

 

int inFilePathMarker = inFile.LastIndexOf('\\');

string inFilePath = inFile.Substring(0,inFilePathMarker - 2);

FileIOPermission filePerm = new FileIOPermission(FileIOPermissionAccess.Read, inFilePath);

FileInfo fiFile = new FileInfo(inFile);

 

 

But this still did me no good.

 

I am using the VS IDE to compile and link the DLL and I can see that the assembly was registered.

 

I need the dll to be used by the general public. I am hoping that I won't have to hard code the inFile in my dll

:-\ :-\

What is the value of inFilePath when you attempt to create the FileIOPermissions?
