write permissions

[Andreas Zita]

Hi

I have a WS which saves (and overwrites) provided xml-data to xml-files in a
certain directory under the appdir. If the file already exists it will be
overwritten only if it was originally saved/created by the ws-app. Im
wondering if there is a way to either (from code) give the app permissions
to overwrite any files in its own subdirectories? ... or a way to establish
if a file was created by this app or not (if the app has write permissions
or not)? (so that a copy can be made)

Thanks!

RE: write permissions

i think you have tot do something with code group policy for the dll wich is
going to write to the directory... take a look at the .NET configuration tool
in the admin tools.
