Vista - XBAP trust/security

Hi

Is it possible to create an XBAP application with full trust deployed on a
CD?

I want my app to be able to use file System.IO on files deployed on the CD
along with the app. All required files will be on the CD.

Peter

Howdy,

This is not really something you can control from a CD as the trust scenario
is governed by the user profile settings on the client machine.

I am sure you have your reasons for looking at this over a standard
application, its just something I wouldnt have though an XBAP is suitable for.

Cheers

I agree. Given your scenario, I don't know why I would choose an XBap over
an installed application, like Expression Blend.

Thanks for your comment.

The reason I'm looking at XBAP is that the UI for the app must be easy to
customize. I thought that using XBAP would give the user the option to
customize the UI by simply editing the xaml file.

Is it possible to set the user profile settings on the client machine so the
XBAP app on the CD run with full trust? If so how?

You need to advise your user to reduce the security level of IE. And I
doubt your user is willing to do it. On the other hand, I am wondering
if you can setup a simple database server on your site, and have your
app talk to it.
