The error about "Attempt to access the method failed"

      My web app was running fine on my localhost. After deploying onto a shared server (1&1), I'm getting the following error - any ideas? If I remove the mediachase stuff from my web.config, my app works.

Attempt to access the method failed.

[MethodAccessException: Attempt to access the method failed.]

Answer:

You are right. It's a problem with Medium Trust. ASP.NET 2.0 with Medium-trust turn-off ReflectionPermission.

To solve it, now, I can suggest you two way:

Turn-on ReflectionPermission

Find *:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.*\CONFIG\web_mediumtrust.config  file.
Create a copy.
Opend web_mediumtrust.config file.
Add lines into SecurityClasses section



Add lines into PermissionSet section named ASP.Net

<PermissionSet
                                class="NamedPermissionSet"
                                version="1"
                                Name="ASP.Net">

, Giving Full Trust to a Strong-Named Assembly in a Medium Trust Environment
You send me your order information and I'll send strong-named Mediachase FileUploader.Net assembly and a modification file.
