Hi All,
I have created custom textbox in framework 2 and been using in asp.net
framework 2 with Web Application Project mode everythinge works fine. Until
I try to create new application by using Web Site Project mode, I add
reference for custom textbox and add <controls> in web.config with
<controls>
<add tagPrefix="myControl" namespace="ccCustom.mycontrol"
assembly="ccTextbox" />
</controls>

Then in the web page when I use custom control I get errors message say
1. Request for the permission of type 'System.web.AspNetHostingPermission,
System, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken='b11a5c561934e089'
failed.
2. Element 'ccTextbox' is not a known elemetn. This can occur if there is a
compilation error in the web site

What is different setting between Web Application Project and Web Site
Project?

Any idea?

Hi Madison,

From your description, when you try using a custom webserver control(in a
separate class library assembly) as global registered control in web site
application, you encoutner "request for
'System.web.AspNetHostingPermission'" error ,correct?

Regarding on this error message, I've ever seen some former threads & cases
discussing on the similar problem, and most of them are caused by .NET cas
code access security problem. So far I haven't found any different between
"web site project" and " web application project" on this custom control
behavior. Here are some causes you can check based on those former issues I
found:

** You're referencing a 3rd party or external assembly which is compiled
through .NET 1.X

** Your ASP.NET web application is not in "Full Trust" CAS level while your
custom web control require Full Trust hoster

** Your ASP.NET web application web directory is on a UNC share that cause
your ASP.NET application code be evaluated as Intranet zone (not full trust)

Also, I've performed a very simple test as below:

1) create a custom control class library that contains a custom control
derived from TextBox (no additional code)

2) create an ASP.NET 2.0 web site project and reference the class
library(created in #1)

3) use <pages><controls> to register the control as global one and use it
in page

the test applciation runs ok without problem. BTW, I use a file server(test
server) project, If you're using IIS server, please feel free to let me
know.

Sincerely,

Hi Steven,

Thank you for your reply.

It is very helpful. I did created Web Application project under my localhost
when I created Web Site project was under development server site (IIS
server). So I did tried to create Web Site project under my localhost I did
not have any problem with my custom textbox at all.

What should I do to have full trust on development site server ?
Do I will have any problems when I deploy this project to production web
site server?

I did not get any popup from
Thank you for your advise.

Hi Madison,

Thanks for your reply.

So based on your further information, the problem occurs when you use an
web site application that hosted in local IIS server, correct?

I think you can check your IIS application virtual directory's directory
path, whether it is under the default wwwroot location or pointed to an
external directory path(such as to a user's "MyDocument path" or to a
remote UNC share? If the IIS virtual directory's physical path is from a
non-local directory(such as a unc share) ,it may be evaluated as
non-FullTrust context. Also, you can add the following configuration
setting in your application's web.config to force the application level CAS
permission be configured as "FullTrust" level.

=============
.........
<trust level="Full"/>
</system.web>
==================

In addition, you can also try creating other new web application in IIS to
test the same behavior.

Hi Madison,

How are you doing on this? Does the further reply helps you some? If there

Hi Steven,

Sorry for delay your response.
I have tried to add <trust level="Full" /> in web.config and yes the IIS
application virtual directory's directory path is pointed to a remote UNC
share which all our web pages and applications reside. I still get the
message say

Element 'myControl' is not a known element. This can occur if there is a
compilation error in the Web site

and the properties did not show when I start to type.

Thank you for your help.

Madison

Thanks for your reply Madison,

Well, I think the fact that IIS virtual directory's home path pointing to a
remote UNC share is a important hints. As I mentioned earlier, for UNC
share path, .net framework CAS policy will evaluate it as "Local Intranet"
zone which is not of "FullTrust" permission. You need to add a new
codegroup in machine level CAS policy and grant full permission to it. The
detailed steps is as below:

** In server's control panel->administrative tools, start ".NET 2.0
CONFIGURATION " tool

**In left view, select "Mycomputer--> Runtime security policy--->
machine--->code g roups" node

**You can add a new code group under the "All_Code" group, give it a name.
In the "condition for this code group", select "Url" and input your remote
UNC share's path in it (as below):

\\servername\sharename\*

In "PermissionSet" , give it "FullTrust"

Save it and run your application again to see the behavior. Here is a web
article introducing .NET CAS and how to configure codegroup setting.

#Configuring .NET Code Access Security
http://www.15seconds.com/issue/040121.htm

and for ASP.NET specific code access information, you can have a look at
the following articles:
