Do you install your DLL into GAC? You must either install it into GAC (the solution does it for you if you specify the assembly location as GAC) or provide a custom CAS policy and register that policy in the web.config file. We usually prefer the first way, unless a customer specifically requires a custom CAS policy. This is much easier and I really doubt the security-wise effectiveness of the custom policy approach (unless your IT department actually goes over your code and examines what it can and cannot do, haven't found a department that would know how to do that)
