config file

[Tony]

Any hint for this error?
It appears while trying to read a config file.


Error loading XML file

This is saying that your attempt to acceess a config file was
disallowed. You might have heard of code access security.

Here, the attempt to access the config file is producing a demand for
a strong named assembly, which your assembly isnt. You have two
choices - 1) Sign your assembly, 2) Alter local policy.

Caspol is a utility for managing CAS policy.

CAS is a pretty big topic, but worth reading up on.
