WebClient.DownloadFile - Security Problem

Hi, this web method works okay on my local environment, but not on Winhost

Code:

    [WebMethod]
    public void TestDownloadFile() 
    {
        WebClient wc = new WebClient();
        wc.DownloadFile("http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/scoreboard", "site.txt");
    }

I get the following error message....

System.Security.SecurityException: Request for the permission of type 'System.Security.Permissions.FileIOPermission, mscorlib, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' failed.
at System.Net.WebClient.DownloadFile(Uri address, String fileName)
at System.Net.WebClient.DownloadFile(String address, String fileName)
at Service.TestDownloadFile()


Is there location where we are allowed to save files to?

 

Problem fixed.


These are the 2 things that needed to be done...

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

and

Code:

    [WebMethod]
    public void TestDownloadFile() 
    {
        WebClient wc = new WebClient();
        wc.DownloadFile("http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/scoreboard", HttpRuntime.AppDomainAppPath + "\\site.txt");
    }

 

Glad you got it worked out, thanks for posting the fix info.
