security error - medium trust envirnoment

[NoCoolHandle]

Hi,

I was in the process of transfering a site we manage to a new hosting provider and started getting a non descript security error - the hosting company believes it is because they work in a medium trust environment.

(the code in question was written by someone else and i am just getting the pleasure of troubleshooting it..)

After doing much digging I found the error was being triggered by a call in a datalist's itemdatabound event.

Specifically where it was trying to read the value from a control in the datalist.

 Dim lngDateType As Long = e.Item.DataItem("dateType")

Any idea as to get around this is very welcome!

TIA

Rob

this code doesn't tell us anything. for a better idea of what's going on you should have some form of logging in the application. at a minimum the logs should be logging errors that the system encounters. if you can provide the full stack trace, then we could start to diagnose the problem.

what BCL (base class library) assemblies does the project reference? what 3rd party assemblies? this will help provide some insight. For example medium trust issues are common with Nhibernate (a 3rd party ORM framework). there are known solutions for the medium trust issues pertaining to NH which you could find by searching the web.
