In a shell application, I need to be able to load and execute other .NET assemblies at runtime, but without giving them full trust. Essentially, I want to limit them (the loaded assemblies) from touching any system resources (threading, networking, etc), with the only exception being isolated storage. However, assemblies which are from "...
I have a custom action that I'm using to deploy some files that sit next to the msi in the handoff package. My custom action is passed the msi path via the OriginalDatabase parameter and I'm checking to see if there is a folder next to it. Nothing too crazy but was a pain in the butt to figure out. Installing single or multiple users fr...
Hi guys, I am studying the Code Access Security of .NET 2.0. My current understanding is as below: The basic mechanism of the CAS is for the CLR to collect certain evidences from the assembly, and then use the evidence and policy to work out a permission set for the assembly's code. And the assembly's code can do nothing beyond that pe...
Hi friends, I wrote the following code to test the CAS: [SecurityPermission(SecurityAction.Demand,Flags=SecurityPermissionFlag.Execution)] static void Main(string[] args) { Console.WriteLine("hello, world!"); } In the .NET 2.0 Configuration, I use the strong name of the above assembly to create a code group an...

I'm working on a SharePoint solution which makes use of a third party dll (Telerik for Asp.Net Ajax - Telerik.Web.UI.dll) for rich experience. Since Telerik dll is a common assembly i have to deploy it to the bin f...
I have just read about this article about Code Access Security. It has such an example in it: using System.Security.Permissions; public class MyFileAccessor { public MyFileAccessor(String path, bool readOnly) { path = MakeFullPath(path); // helper fcn FileIOPermissionAccess desiredAccess = readOnly ? FileIOPermissionA...
I'm developing some (wordpress) plugins and I'm planning to have a license fee for whoever want's to use it. Therefor I need a way to make sure that this plugin is not uploaded to a server where anyone can download it and use it for free. So I was thinking of using an API key. Valid API key = user can use the plugin. Invalid = plugin d...
Is there any way to protect my code during development so that if a developer leaves my company they are unable to access files in my project? This is especially important with TFS where the project is downloaded locally, cached, and available for offline use. Ideally the code would be unreadable if they did not have a valid Active Di...
