Hello, I have an application that works fine on my development computer, but fails to compile on DiscountASP.NET. It appears that the the ProtectedMemeory class is not a member of System.Security.Cryptography on this system. Can anyone explain? If there is some security reason why this is so, can some suggest another way to encrypt a string of data in this service? Thank you in advance. Compilation Error Description: An error occurred during the compilation of a resource required to service this request. Please review the following specific error details and modify your source code appropriately. Compiler Error Message: BC30456: 'ProtectedMemory' is not a member of 'Cryptography'. Source Error: Code: Line 439: Try Line 440: Dim toEncrypt As Byte() = UnicodeEncoding.ASCII.GetBytes(pClearString) Line 441: System.Security.Cryptography.ProtectedMemory.Protect(toEncrypt, MemoryProtectionScope.CrossProcess) Line 442: Results = UnicodeEncoding.ASCII.GetString(toEncrypt) Line 443: Catch ex As Exception
Yes, that was one of the new classes added for 2.0. That line added to web.config fixed the problem.....Thank you, Vikram!
I believe this is a new class added to the framework.Add reference to the System.Security assembly in your web.config as follows: <assemblies> <add assembly='System.Security, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' /> </assemblies> Vikram DiscountASP.NET www.DiscountASP.NET
