Hi all,
I have created an n-tier WinForm application using web-service as the communications between client and business objects.
The business components need to access the registry to retrieve the database connection string, the Event Viewer to record errors, and to write to a log file on the local drive.
If I was using COM+, the components would run in a package which would in turn run under a specified NT account.
How can I get my .Net assemblies to run under a specific account without using COM+?

Regards

This will help you out. It is not being pushed by Microsoft yet. But they will make a big deal about it when Whidbey comes out.

Basically you set up and executable and put it on a web server. You link to it on a page and the user can click on it and the executable pops up in a sandbox. You can give it special permissions to read and write to the hard drive of the user. I have a demo if you want me to send you a link to it.

Peter,

I think what you might need to look into is Code Access Security.
