[RESOLVED] Projects on a shared drive

[Shaggy Hiker]

I just added a RAID array NAS to my network. It seems like it would be very convenient to keep all projects on the NAS so that I could work on them from VS installed on any of the computers connected to the network. Since I'm the sole user of VS, this is within the EULA, so that's no problem. However, I tested that out with one project, and VS was mighty unhappy. When I loaded the project I got a message about the site not being trusted and that some things might not run. What didn't run was a socket, with this error message:

{"Request for the permission of type 'System.Net.SocketPermission, System, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' failed."}


The objective, that of developing off of a shared network drive, seems like a simple one, but obviously there is a step I am not aware of. Any suggestions?

well perhaps you could assign it a drive letter?

Did that already, it doesn't make a difference. All the problems occured after that.

In case anyone else goes searching on this thread, here's the solution:

Under Control Panel | Administrative Tools there will be .NET Framework X Configuration, where X is the framework version. You may have one for each framework.

Under that you will find My Computer, and in that node will be Runtime Security Policy. Don't expand that node, just select it. When you do that you will get a couple of options, one of which is Adjust Zone Security. This will start a wizard that steps you through altering the security levels for applications on either the local computer, an intranet, internet (if you like to live dangerously), and a few others.
