Hello, Is there any definitive place to look for information regarding the topic of: security considerations when running a WinForms application from a network share (as opposed to running from the local client machine)? We'd like to avoid various deployment issues by simply placing our .exe on the network and having all of the client pc's access the .exe via a shortcut on each client desktop. Are there any major pitfalls to this approach (specific to security... or otherwise)? Thank You, Jesse |

The latter is placed on the "Intranet Zone" and therefore has lower privileges than when you are on your machine (Fulltrust permissions by default). So if you want to develop and debug/test your code as if you where running from your network share, take a look at this post: http://weblogs.asp.net/hernandl/arch.../26/96800.aspx At the same time, you should "prepare" your app to be able to run under a restricted Zone and you might check out this post: http://blogs.msdn.com/shawnfa/archiv.../20/57023.aspx -- Hernan de Lahitte Lagash Systems S.A. http://weblogs.asp.net/hernandl This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.
