Hi all!

With a signed Java applet you can use URLConnection to connect to a
remote webserver and all user needs to do is to accept a certificate.

Is this possible with a UserControl made in .NET?

I know how to code it using the WebRequest object, but there is always
a security error. Can I sign my control so that the user only needs to
accept my certificate and then I can access a webserver?

Thank you
Anders

Hi Anders,

With the default security policy, you only have permssion to access the same website that your control is hosted on. You will have to get
the users to mofiy their policy in order to allow access to other websites.

Thank you Shawn for this answer.

I got it to work using a webservice on the same website.
