ASP.NET 2.0, AJAX, Medium Trust - HOW?

Customer Support H-Sphere Shared Hosting
1

I recently deployed an ASP.NET AJAX site and it threw and error regarding security. I knew it had to be with AJAX.

I opened a support ticket and have been going back and forth for some time now and I am trying to find out if anyone on this forum has a .NET 2.0 Microsoft AJAX Enabled Site?

I was told the following from support.

  1. You must use Medium Trust.

  2. Directed to look at the following link
    How To: Use Medium Trust in ASP.NET 2.0 | Microsoft Learn

  3. I followed the MSDN instructions and added the following line of code to my web.config.

  4. Now my site throws another error telling me that I cannot add to my web.config because the machine.config setup by Jodo does not allow me to override this setting.

Anyone out there have a site running with ASP.NET 2.0 and AJAX. Please let me know what I have to do to get this running in the shared environment at medium trust.

Thank you,

we have quite a few people using ajax.net on our servers in medium trust

Now my site throws another error telling me that I cannot add to my web.config because the machine.config setup by Jodo does not allow me to override this setting.

Re: IDisposable Causes The SecurityPermission Error

Stephen,

I went back into my code line by line ripping stuff out. I found out it was not AJAX. It happened before I hit the code.

It has to deal with the IDisposable interface in one of my classes.

When I call Dispose() I get System.Security.Permissions.SecurityPermission

This code on MSDN is what I have been using for some time.
IDisposable.Dispose Method (System) | Microsoft Learn

One line of code was the issue, and on a shared hosting environment it makes sense…

CloseHandle(handle);
[System.Runtime.InteropServices.DllImport(“Kernel32”)]

Now lets see if AJAX works for me.

Thanks,
Patrick
