I'm working on a project where I have to pass a serialized object to a
ASP.NET web service and I recieve an exception because that the object cannot
be serialized due to declarative security.

The object in question is an Exception class and as such I cannot change the
declarative security to imperative security permissions or demans in property
accessors because I do not own the code to the Exception class.

The following support article details how to do this in this way.

http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=326971

Is there a way that I can allow a WebMethod to take an Exception as a
parameter and not recieve the security exception that results from attempting
to serialize a class with declarative security?

Thanks in advance

Not directly, but there are other ways to pass exception information to a
web method. One easy approach would be to pass just the type and message.
A more complex approach would be to use an alternate serializer such as the
BinaryFormatter, then pass the serialized data as, for example, a byte
array.
