System.UnauthorizedAccessException: When writing XMLSchema

[101]

I get a security error when trying to write out to an XMLSchema file
"myDs.WriteXmlS chema(strXMLSch emaFile)". I am running XP SP2, No Domain, MS
file and print sharing uninstalled. I was able to get past this by making
ASPNET part of the Administrators group. I tried the Power User group (as
well as others) to no avail. I also had to install MS file and print
sharing in order to even add ASPNET
as a member of the Administrator group (or any other group). After adding it
to the group I can uninstall file and print sharing and everything works
fine.

Is making ASPNET a member of the Admin group the correct way of doing this,
or should I make a new group with some specific permissions?

I am trying to learn .NET programming and trying to avoid going on security
tangents. Is this news group the right place or is there a more suitable
place for Newbie's.

I think the easiest way to solve this is to just fully trust your
assembly in the .Net Config Wizard (in your administrative tools).

Re: System.Unauthor izedAccessExcep tion: When writing XMLSchema

That sounded like it, but I am getting the same error. I used the wizard to
fully trust C:\Inetpub\wwwr oot\VBNET\Manag ingData\bin\Man agingData.dll

but got the error "System.Unautho rizedAccessExce ption: Access to the path
"c:\inetpub\www root\VBNET\Mana gingData\Catego riesProductsSch ema.xsd" is
denied. at System.IO.__Err or.WinIOError(I nt32 errorCode, String str) at
System.IO.FileS tream..ctor(Str ing path, FileMode mode, FileAccess access,
FileShare share, Int32 bufferSize, Boolean useAsync, String msgPath, Boolean
bFromProxy) at System.IO.FileS tream..ctor(Str ing path, FileMode mode,
FileAccess access, FileShare share) at System.Xml.XmlT extWriter..ctor (String

fileName) at ManagingData.Ed itProducts.btnS ave_Click(Objec t sender,
EventArgs e) in
c:\inetpub\wwwr oot\VBNET\Manag ingData\EditPro ducts.aspx.vb:l ine 574"

Like I said, when ASPNET is a member of Admin it works, is there something
else I need to Fully Trust?

Re: System.Unauthor izedAccessExcep tion: When writing XMLSchema

FYI - Actually Fully Trusting the assembly did help but it appears that file
and print sharing on XP PRO must be installed and the folder containing the
document must be shared on the network with write privliges.

IOW - you must Fully Trust the APP and Allow network users to change my
files.

Re: System.Unauthor izedAccessExcep tion: When writing XMLSchema

Ok, 4 years with XP and didn't know about shutting off simplified
permissions on folders. :(

So, Fully Trust the assembly, shut off simplified permissions and give ASP
..NET Write permission on the file.

Thank You!
