Have a small problem. I have written a custom assembly to query a db2
database through a dsn datasource. It works fine in Report Designer but
shows the #error message in the fields on the report once it is published.
Following is my rssrvpolicy.config entry:
<CodeGroup
class="UnionCodeGroup"
version="1.0.0.0"
PermissionSetName="FullTrust"
Name="DB2Link"
Description="This assembly connects to the DB2 database server and
retrieves information">
<IMembershipCondition
class="UrlMembershipCondition"
version="1.0.0.0"
Url="C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL
Server\MSSQL\Reporting Services\ReportServer\bin\DB2Link.dll"
/>
</CodeGroup>
I have also added the following code to my Class Library prior to compiling
and deploying:
Dim Permission As New
Odbc.OdbcPermission(Security.Permissions.PermissionState.Unrestricted)
Permission.Assert()
but to no avail. Any help would be greatly appreciated. BTW, the ODBC
connection information is all housed within the library. It takes a string
value passed from SRS and returns a single string value. Nothing fancy...
Do I need to create an access group to the DSN File?
Thanks,Asserting the ODBC Permission might not be sufficient. You may want to try
asserting full trust in the custom assembly:
[PermissionSet(SecurityAction.Assert, Unrestricted=true)]
public foo()
{
// Your code:
// open database connection
// ...
}

able to try it until tomorrow, will let you know.

> Thanks,|||Robert, I've tried about everything I can think of: I even tried a sample
that has worked for others using an assembly to read a text file but to no
avail. Sorry for all of the code below but I'm at a loss. I've also set the
version to be 1.0.0.0.0 in my assembly and added the : <Assembly:
AllowPartiallyTrustedCallers()> although I haven't setup strong naming. If
you see anything that I've messed up, please let me know...I'm stumped.
This is my Class Code:
Imports System.IO
Imports System.Security.Permissions
Public Class ReadResultsFile
<FileIOPermissionAttribute(SecurityAction.Assert,
Read:="C:\JHHTST2.txt")> _
Public Shared Function GetResults() As String
Dim reader As StreamReader = New StreamReader("c:\JHHTST2.txt")
Dim hello As String = reader.ReadToEnd()
reader.Close()
Return hello
End Function
End Class
This as the PermissionSet Code:
<PermissionSet
class="NamedPermissionSet"
version="1"
Name="ReadObjectFilePermissionSet"
Description="A special permission set that grants read access to my hello
file.">
<IPermission
class="FileIOPermission"
version="1"
Read="C:\JHHTST2.txt"
/>
<IPermission
class="SecurityPermission"
version="1"
Flags="Execution, Assertion"
/>
</PermissionSet>
This is my Codegroup:
<CodeGroup
class="UnionCodeGroup"
version="1"
PermissionSetName="ReadObjectFilePermissionSet"
Name="ReadScriptFile"
Description="A special code group for my custom assembly.">
<IMembershipCondition
class="UrlMembershipCondition"
version="1"
Url="C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\Reporting
Services\ReportServer\bin\ReadScriptFile.dll"
/>
</CodeGroup>
Thanks,
JamesH.|||Make sure the the CodeGroup section you added is right below the
Report_Expressions_Default_Permissions CodeGroup. Position in the file
does have an effect.

using the SQLClient connection in the assembly, worked like a champ... Is
there anybody that has used ODBC with Custom assemblies?
