Declaritive security attribute help!

[Ray Cassick \(Home\)]

I am trying to tag an assembly with a minimum requirements check so that it
will know if it has the ability to read and write to a specific folder.

The problem is that the specific folder is a sub folder of the users
ApplicationData folder.

Anyone have any examples of how to do this? I have been looking in the help
and Googling for the last few hours and can't seem to find an example of
this.

I set up a small test project that uses the following line to check before
it draws the main form:

<Assembly:
Security.Permissions.FileIOPermission(Security.Permissions.SecurityAction.RequestMinimum,
All:=Nothing, Append:=Nothing, PathDiscovery:=Nothing, Read:="C:\Documents
and Settings\rcassick\Application Data\Enterprocity", Unrestricted:=False,
Write:="C:\Documents and Settings\rcassick\Application Data\Enterprocity")>

and then I ran it from an account that I KNOW has no ability to read or
write form that path and it did not seem to do anything at all. I was
expecting at least to get some Security Exception window.

Hi,

Take a look at this example. It shows how to request a permission
and check and see if you can do.

Is there a way though to use a path that changes depending on the logged on
user and still do this declaratively? I don't think so.

The path I am after in as user specific Application Data path.

I don't think I can do this declaratively.
