[RESOLVED] Application Trust Level

Hi am extremely new to ASP.NET,
And I thought the best way for me to pick up things was to jump in and have a go.
I am not trying anything fancy, I am just trying to read data from a table in an Access Database using System.Data.OleDb

when trying to retrieve any data from the db, I am receiving the following error message:

Quote:

---

The application attempted to perform an operation not allowed by the security policy. To grant this application the required permission please contact your system administrator or change the application's trust level in the configuration file.

---

I have tried searching for an answer, and I only seem to be able to find questions lol.

Could anyone please advise on what I may be doing wrong.

Thanks

Set the Trust level to FULL in your web.config.

vb Code:

<system.web>
    <Trust Level= "Full" originUrl="" />
  </system.web>

Where are you getting this error - on your machine or your web host?

on the server

gonna test the above now!

Server Error
500 - Internal server error.
There is a problem with the resource you are looking for, and it cannot be displayed.

am i doing something wrong? :(

Chances are, your host will not allow you to specify full trust for your application (unless you or your company owns the server).

What is the name of your host? Is it netfirms by any chance? Netfirms, among other hosts will prevent OleDb access. Of course, we'll need to confirm this once you mention your host name.

Quantasoft Web Hosting is the company i'm using

didnt wanna pay out for anything just yet, just wanted to get familiar first

thanks for your help!

OK, so it seems like Quantasoft allows MS Access. However, I'm pretty sure you can't override your application's trust level, although you may try it.

You should now probably show your code. As another troubleshooting step, create a basic application with a blank page or just a button and textbox on it and try to see if that works on your account. If that works, but this doesn't, then you know for sure it's a code problem which may be doing something that it's not allowed to do.

i've got other asp.net controls in place
got a button that redirects, few texts boxes

it's just when i am trying to retrieve data and write...

this is just a quick test i tried:

vb Code:

commandCW1 = new OleDbCommand("SELECT [PayNumber], [FirstName], [Surname], [ContractedHours], [StartDate], [LeaveList] FROM StaffList WHERE [PayNumber] = @PayNumber;")
  commandCW1.Parameters.Add(new OleDbParameter("@PayNumber", OleDbType.Char)).Value = TextPayNumber.Text
  commandCW1.Connection = connectionCW1
 
  connectionCW1.Open()
  
  readerCW1 = commandCW1.ExecuteReader()
  If (readerCW1.Read()) Then
    TextFirstName.Text = readerCW1.GetValue(0).ToString()       
    'TextSupplier.Text = readerCW1.GetValue(1).ToString()
    'TextQuantityPerUnit.Text = readerCW1.GetValue(2).ToString()
    'TextUnitPrice.Text = readerCW1.GetValue(3).ToString()
    'TextUnitsInStock.Text = readerCW1.GetValue(4).ToString()
    'TextUnitsOnOrder.Text = readerCW1.GetValue(5).ToString()   
    'TextReorderLevel.Text = readerCW1.GetValue(6).ToString()
  End If

So if the rest of the code works alright, we know that it's a problem with the fact that you're querying a database. I think you should now contact that web host and ask them about this. They have shown that they support MS Access, but they may be disallowing something else...

an there's nothing wrong with the above code?

i'll drop them a message shortly

cheers mate

yeah just filling it in now, cheers man

For some reason the code is now working, but I had forgot to update the db on the server with the most recent copy off my hdd

it's now "locked" (.ldb file is present in directory) and I can't access the db

any ideas how to unlock the db?

thanks
Mitch

Delete the .ldb.

Tried that lol

each time my ftp client says it was succesful but on refresh the file is still there

just unlocked itself

i'll mark this as resolved now

cheers for your help mendhak
