I have a Windows Service that I wrote in VB.NET (2005). I what the
OnStart method to be able to 'read' an external file - in this case, a
file on another server.
The file is on a shared folder on the 'other' server, and I also
included the metacommand
Security.Permis sions.FileIOPer mission(Securit y.Permissions.S ecurityActio
n.Assert)
onto the OnStart method. However, when the service starts and it
attempts to read the file, it generates an 'Access to path
path-goes-here is denied'.
I thought I had the appropriate permissions set but obviously not. How
can I give a VB.NET service the 'permission' to read another external
file (for instance, via StreamReader)? Do I need to give the shared
file folder a specific permission property? Any help appreciated.
