Developing as a non admin user

[xwb]

I don't know if it just me who runs as a non-admin user. Everyone whom I ask seems to develop C# code as an admin user.

Anyway, what I'm trying to do is very simple - write to a file in the current directory using streamwriter. You would have thought that it was a no-brainer. The problem is I can't run my program in the debugger: it gives some Security Permissions Exception. It is fine when I run it from a cmd prompt.

It gives the same error even when I say the working directory is My Documents.

The question is what magic switch do I flick to get round this Security Permissions Exception. This is on VS2005. I suspect the same problem exists on VS2008.

the OS will have a huge impact on the solution. Vista, Windows 7, XP, or some other OS. I would start here

That is quite a lot of reading - I'll report back when I think I've gleaned enough information.

Oh well, gone are the days when you can pick a programmer off the street and ask them to write a program that will write to a file.
