    If you want your app to automatically just work from a network share you need to design it so it doesn't require full trust I need that in MDI child form Escape key closes form, Ctrl+F1 cycles and Ctrl+F10 toggles maximizing. For this I use code below in form base class which requires full trust. How to implement those features without full trust ? Andrus.

    [SecurityPermission(SecurityAction.LinkDemand, Flags = SecurityPermissionFlag.UnmanagedCode)]
    protected override bool ProcessCmdKey(ref Message msg, Keys keyData)
    {
    switch (keyData)
    {
    case Keys.Escape:
    if (this != FormManager.MainForm)
    {
    Close();
    return true;
    }
    break;

                case Keys.Control | Keys.F1:
                    for (int i = 0; i < FormManager.MainForm.MdiChildren.Length; i++)
                    {
                        if (FormManager.MainForm.MdiChildren\[i\] == this)
                        {
    
                            if (i < FormManager.MainForm.MdiChildren.Length - 1)
                                FormManager.MainForm.MdiChildren\[i + 1\].Focus();
                            else
                                FormManager.MainForm.MdiChildren\[0\].Focus();
    
                            return true;
                        }
                    }
                    return true;
    
                case Keys.Control | Keys.F10:
                    if (WindowState == FormWindowState.Maximized)
                        WindowState = FormWindowState.Normal;
                    else
                        WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized;
                    return true;
    
            }
            return base.ProcessCmdKey(ref msg, keyData);
        }
    }

    Handle the forms keypress or keydown events instead of overriding the ProcessCmdKey method. Use code in their to max/min/cycle your forms based on the key pressed.

        Ahh...interesting. Have you tried the _forms_ previewkeydown event? (You have to set keypreview to true)

          It's because of the trust level assigned to the app. .net exe files run off of a network share are assigned a low trust level. (As opposed to full trust when run locally). If you want your app to automatically just work from a network share you need to design it so it doesn't require full trust. This means you can't do anything like writing to the local file system, using the registry, and a whole bunch of other stuff. (There are often alternatives, like you could use isolated storage for settings instead of the registry). Or, you can adjust the security to either explicitly trust a specific strong name signed assembly, no matter where is it run from[^] or explicitly allow full trust for apps run from a given network location[^]

            Sorry, I've no idea about this. Try catching and logging exceptions at the top level to see what's going wrong.

                Exception which occurs in does not show .NET Winforms unhandled exception dialog. So this exception cannot be catched in .NET code.

                  Hi! There's a control panel for the configuration of .NET 2.0 if you have the SDK installed. When you select "Runtime security policies" (I hope that's the correct name, I only have the German version here...) you get the option to evaluate a given assembly with respect to all the permissions this assembly is granted. You could test your assembly to verify that the change in your security policy actually affects your application.

                    Sorry then, I'm out of ideas. There should be a way though. Detecting a key press barely seems like something that should require full trust.

                      No, there are no ways. Detecting those keypresses in winForms requires application to run in full trust mode.

                            I have Visual C# Express 2008 Installed. I intalled "SDK Tools" from "Windows and .NET SDK" package but Control Panel does not show this utility. Installer created 2 directories, v6.0a and v6.1 containing files with same names. I tried some executables in v6.1 directory but they appear to do other things.

                              I have Visual C# Express 2008 Installed. I intalled "SDK Tools" from "Windows and .NET SDK" package but Control Panel does not show this utility. Installer created 2 directories, v6.0a and v6.1 containing files with same names. I tried some executables in v6.1 directory but they appear to do other things.

                              Directory of C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.1\Bin

                              I'm afraid I don't know if this control panel is part of VS 2008 Express. With VS 2005 it's located at

                              C:\Programme\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SDK\v2.0\Bin\mscorcfg.msc

                              Hope this helps...

                                In C# Express 2008 I have folder C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\SDK\v3.5\Bin but this folder is empty. Any idea how to use this tool ?
