Security Exception during interop with Word

[Peter Sojan]

Hi!

For my Office 2000 Installation I imported all three needed Typelibs for
Word (simple with tblimp):

Office.dll
VBIDE.dll
Word.dll

Then in a little test program (ComTest.cs) when I try the
following:

Word.Application wa = new Word.Application();

I get an Security Exception:

-----------------------------------
Unhandled Exception: System.Security.SecurityException:
System.Security.Permissions.SecurityPermission
at MainApp.Main() in
h:\daten\programming\dotnettest\helloworld\ComTest.cs:line 11

The state of the failed permission was:
<IPermission class="System.Security.Permissions.SecurityPermission,
mscorlib, Version=1.0.5000.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089"
version="1"
Flags="UnmanagedCode"/>
-------------------------------------

Any hints? Is this a COM or Runtime permission thing? How could
I overcome the security restrictions?

Thx,
Peter

Hi Peter,

For my Office 2000 Installation I imported all three needed Typelibs for
Word (simple with tblimp):

Office.dll
VBIDE.dll
Word.dll

About the other two I'm not sure, but for Word you need the *.olb file, not
a dll?

Hi Peter,

These are the resulting wrapper assemblies. I used the *.olb libs for
input...

Thx

I develop on a network share, and if start my app from there it runs in
the LocalIntranet code-group which does not have the "FullTrust"
permission set (this is needed to execute unmanaged code). I just added
FullTrust to LocalIntranet code group (tool: "mscorcfg.msc") and it
works now. Don't know if this is the best solution tough
