I have seen a few posts everywhere about this but am still slightly confused as to how this should work. I am not sure if this is a problem due to the Tangosol library not containing the allow partially trusted callers attribute or something else more fundamental with the policy restrictions on how .NET applications are called over the network.
My app.config is:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>
<configSections>
<section name="coherence" type="Tangosol.Config.CoherenceConfigHandler, Coherence"/>
</configSections>
<coherence>
<cache-factory-config>\\usfiapp\swap_prd\MBS\PNG\Server\DEV\config\coherence.xml</cache-factory-config>
<cache-config>\\usfiapp\swap_prd\MBS\PNG\Server\DEV\config\cache-config.client.xml</cache-config>
<pof-config>\\usfiapp\swap_prd\MBS\PNG\Server\DEV\config\pof-config.xml</pof-config>
</coherence>
</configuration>
and when I run my application from a Network Share I get the error and stack trace as shown:
{ERROR}[1]02/24 13:30:03 - Exception in the main thread
System.Configuration.ConfigurationErrorsException: An error occurred creating the configuration section handler for coherence: That assembly does not allow partially trusted callers.

Looking on MSDN and other places some say to rebuild the Ent Lib with the AllowPartiallyTrustedCallers() attribute and others say to grant the unc share folder "FullTrust" through URL evidence. I have tried the latter by going to the .NET configuration and creating a new code group under LocalIntranet _Zone called DEVCode with the share from which I am loading the application and trust set to Full Trust.
This still did not work and I am not sure what part of the Ent Lib I need to rebuild, so how can I get around this. Can you please help?
Do I need to restart the server on which I am running the network application from after making such a policy change?
FYI - I am running the application from a Windows Service if that helps.
