Filesystemwatcher securityexception

[E Stafford]

I am using Visual C# Express and trying to place a FileSystemWatcher in
my app. after adding it and trying to run it throws an exception from
InitiateComponents().

system.security.SecurityException request failed.
Any Idea how to fix this...?

already tried a couple things with no success.
1. project properties .. security tab.
2. chanded microsoft .net framework 2.0 configuration in admin tools

Have you checked to see that the user account this appliation runs under
actually has ACL folder / file access permission to this folder and its
files? That you do with windows explorer - right click the folder and check
the Security Tab.

Thank you Peter for the response.
Yes I have full permissions to the domain and local system.

One thing I did see mentioned in other web and newsgroup posts is the
problem with accessing solutions on a network drive. Our documents
folders are mapped to a netowrk drive. What seems to work as a solution
was to move the entire project to a local drive and change the solution
security preferences to full Trust.

So far, all is working fine when executed in the debugger.

thanks
