how to find the windows path of custom assembly using c# code?

I am using a custom assembly. My assembly has to read a particular file and
take some values from it. I set the required permissions and everything works
good. However I dont want to hardcode the location of my text file. I decided
to put the text file in the same location as dll file i.e in ..\Program
Files\Reporting Services\ReportServer\bin folder and thought of finding the
path in my class library using something like
String pathval=System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().CodeBase;
But this method always gives me #Error in my report expression. I also tried
by removing all other code and just returning the path. Also if I try to
return System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().FullName; it works
good. I am totally confused as how one property will work and another one
does not. Is there anything I am missing like setting some reference or
changing some permission etc.
I want to know the location of the dll i.e windows path(C:\Program
Files\Reporting Services\ReportServer\bin) using c# code which will work with
reporting services.
Thanks in advance.Probably the exception you are getting is FileIOPermission. If you look at
the Assembly.CodeBase Property topic in BOL, you will see that it requires
FileIOPermission. To confirm this, disable CAS in RS (comment the
<securityPolicy> element in Report Server web.config) and see if it will
execute fine.
See
http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.sqlserver.reportingsvcs/browse_frm/thread/2bd7a109fd6dbe4b/df80503c4773a1b0?lnk=st&q=fileiopermission+assert+group%3A*.reportingsvcs&rnum=1&hl=en#df80503c4773a1b0
or increase the expression CAS policy to FullTrust by changing the
MyComputer GodeGroup in rssrvpolicy.config as follows
<CodeGroup
class="FirstMatchCodeGroup"
version="1"
PermissionSetName="FullTrust"
Description="This code group grants
MyComputer code Execution permission. ">
<IMembershipCondition
class="ZoneMembershipCondition"
version="1"
Zone="MyComputer" />

Hi Ringt,
I think you can try checking the CAS permission as Teo suggested first. To
temporarly turn off .NET code access security, we can also execute the:
caspol -s off under the VS.NET command console.....
In addition, as for getting assembly path, we don't quite suggest use
codebase since this is not always correctly in some certain scenario (when
assemblies are added into GAC and the original path not in application's
directory...). I think you can also try
AppDomain.BaseDirectory , this will return the base physical location of
our application(if we execute it on the main appdomain......)..
Thanks,
Steven Cheng

||||Hi Teo and Steven,
Thank you both for the replies. I am able to get the executing path of
assembly using System.AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory only if I give
FullTrust permissionset to "MyComputer" and
"Report_Expressions_Default_Permissions" Code Groups. Is there a way I can
reduce the permission and make them work?
Note: I also have my own permission set and code group to give my dll, read
permission to my text file which is not a config file. I am using Reporting
Services 2005.
Thanks,
ringt|||The links I included in my previous post should get you started although in
your case it is like catch-22. You need to grant access to a path which is
known only at runtime. You have to do some reasearch to find if this is
possible at all.
Good luck!

I'm afraid grant the sufficient CAS permission is necessary. However, I
agree with you that it's not necessary to grant the FullTrust to
LocalComputer zone... You can choose to adjust the existing PermissionSet
, e.g the "Execution" or add a new named PermissionSet and add those
FileIOPermissions in that PermissionSet. To grant the custom PermssionSet
to your own assembly, you can consider strong-named your assemtly so that
you can grant permissionSet through Strong-named condition.....
So far I haven't found any resource directly describing modifying the
reporting service's security policy file, but there is on good article
discussing customize ASP.NET 2.0 security policys:
#How To: Use Code Access Security in ASP.NET 2.0
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/dnpag2/html/paght000017.asp?frame=tr
ue
this article mentioned the similiar ideas on customizing existing security
policy file and add FileIOPermission for certain CodeGroup....
Hope helps. Thanks,

||||Hi there,
As Steven mentioned, I have to give fullTrust permission to get the path
during runtime. Even then as Toe have mentioned asserting permissions to a
path known at runtime is not successful to me. It throws me #Error again. Is
there any other way (even by reducing or modifying some permissions) to
implement this?
Expecting your help.
Thanks.

Please ignore my last reply in this thread. I made a mistake of not
appending my file name after I find the path using
System.AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory. Thus my problem is solved now.

Also, I didn't mean that we have to grant FullTrust permission , but should
grant whatever permission that is necessary for our custom operations. and
for your scenario, this is the FileIOPermission... :-)
Anyway, glad that you've got it working....

| Hi Teo and Steven,
|
| Please ignore my last reply in this thread. I made a mistake of not

| System.AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory. Thus my problem is solved
now.
| Thank you very much.
