i have an app.
i allow my users to simply click on a web link
and it runs.
i want this app to be able to open sockets
and files.

you'll need to change the CAS security policy on the client machines so that they allow your code greater than the default permissions. If you have control over the clients you can distribute policy via AD or similar, if not you'll have to persaude the users to run some kind of MSI to adjust the policy

hi richard.

my app is a dot net chat client.
it is runnable directly from the web.
it is not 'installed'.
i cannot nor do i want to
tell my clients to configure anything
in their machines for me.

i want my app to request from the RunTime
permission to open a socket.
i excpect the RunTime to confirm this with the user,
and grant my app the permission,
(or refuse the grant, and tell my app).

is there a way to do this?
